Abstract
Communities Putting Prevention to Work grant funding, provided to the state through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention since 2010, is aimed at impacting obesity. This has enabled 2 local health departments-Pitt County and the Appalachian District-to make broad, sustainable environmental changes that foster improvements in health outcomes.
