Healthy Pathways

Phase 1  |  2017 - 2020

In 2017, Geary County was one of eight Kansas communities selected as a grantee in the largest community grant program ever funded by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas. The Pathways to a Healthy Kansas program provided community coalitions like Live Well Geary County with the tools and resources needed to remove barriers and engage the community in ways that enable healthy eating and tobacco-free, active living to become a way of life. The funding for Geary County included a coordination grant of $100,000, with opportunities to apply for non-competitive implementation and achievements grants amounting to $400,000, for a total of $500,000, during the three-year grant cycle.
