After some success with a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, targeting obesity in five rural Kentucky counties, round two of the grant is underway at the University of Kentucky.  The CDC awards the grant to land-grant universities, like UK, in states that have counties where forty-percent of the adult population is considered obese.  UK is collaborating with community partners in Martin County to make some big changes in key areas.
