The Smoky Hills Healthy Living Fund aims to enhance public health in Ellsworth County by encouraging healthy lifestyles, behaviors, and environments. It focuses on preventative measures rather than supporting projects or medical equipment for the already ill, in alignment with the objectives of the Kansas Health Foundation’s GROW II initiative.
The grant program is dedicated to promoting public health within Ellsworth County. It backs programs, projects, and equipment that have a preventative aim, rather than curing or treating existing health conditions. The emphasis is on fostering a healthier community by encouraging actions and environments that prevent health issues before they arise. This initiative is part of a larger effort supported by the Kansas Health Foundation Fund for Smoky Hills.
