Healthy People in Healthy Communities
Grants Information
Working with service groups and program managers throughout the Health Department, the Grants Development Team works to fulfill its critical role of obtaining grant funding to support the Department's vision of healthy people in healthy communities. This year, in addition to our ongoing work in the areas of primary care and HIV/AIDS, the Development Team will be focusing on: health promotion (including the health of children, persons with disabilities, and communities of color); the reduction of health disparities; chronic disease prevention; and immigrant/refugee health.
