STARTING WITH CHILDREN
In 2019, Fitness For Life Around Grant County (FFLAG) spearheaded a multifaceted health action plan for children with funding from the Foundation For A Healthy Kentucky. The "Starting With Children" initiative was designed to improve the health of Grant County’s children by engaging communities with innovative strategies to help school-aged children achieve and maintain healthy lifestyles.
