The Gadsden County Step Up, Florida! Health Communities Program

The Step Up, Florida Healthy Communities Program provides funding to all 67 Florida County Health Departments, including Gadsden County, to develop and implement cardiovascular prevention programs addressing essential Healthy People 2010 objectives, including good nutrition, physical activity, heart-healthy environments, and tobacco avoidance.

Gadsden's Step Up, Florida Healthy Communities Program mobilizes community resources and partnerships to target communities, schools, worksites, churches, and other groups to implement policy and environmental changes. Funding for Gadsden's Step Up, Florida Healthy Communities Program is provided through the Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Basic Implementation Grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
