Focus Area - Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky

The current focus areas for Foundation activities are health education and prevention promotion through community-based and environmental strategies for: 

• Fitness and Nutrition for Children and Families 
• Youth Smoking Prevention   
• Youth Substance Abuse Prevention 

and initiatives to enhance access to: 

• Health care for low-income and uninsured populations  
• Health Care for Rural Populations 
• Integrated Mental Health and Medical Services 

 The Foundation’s current focus areas grew from the concerns expressed by people in communities across the Commonwealth during a series of community planning workshops .

These workshops helped the Foundation identify priority areas of effort within its broad mission of addressing the unmet health care needs of Kentuckians.
