The health challenges facing Indiana like smoking and food insecurity vary from county to county, and local service providers often know how to best address these issues. To improve health outcomes in all Hoosier communities, providers in our area can apply for a funding boost thanks to a new state program. The Health Issues and Challenges Grant, made possible through legislation I supported, can help communities large and small tackle health problems. Applications for the second and final round of funding must be submitted by Nov. 18 to receive a portion of the $50 million grant fund. |

Funding is available to local and statewide service providers and planning organizations and can be used to address health issues with Hoosiers, such as tobacco use, obesity, lead exposure, and chronic diseases like diabetes or asthma.[Click here to apply for the grant] Locally, the Vanderburgh County Health Department is using funding from the first round of awards to boost its “Pre to 3” program, which aims to help pregnant women and new moms receive the best care possible. This program connects health professionals to moms in need to develop healthier diets and living situations for themselves and their families. To learn more about this great program, click here. |

So who is the author of this article, given that it includes the phrase, “…legislation i supported…”?
Shouldn’t all authors and/or submitters be identified to their readers?
