Throughout the Commonwealth, 21 grants have been issued for the 2010-2012 project period totaling $1.2 million in funding for Healthy Communities Action Team (HCAT) grants to prevent childhood obesity. These grants support and/or establish community coalitions that will utilize evidence-based best practices as identified by the Centers for Disease Control and the Institute of Medicine. Members of Regional Advisory Boards consisting of community representatives reviewed the grant applications and made funding recommendations to the VFHY Board of Trustees, which voted unanimously to fund these organizations.
