New Ways To Make Healthy Choices
The LEAD DeKalb (Local Efforts towards Addressing Disparities in DeKalb) initiative was created to improve health, prevent chronic disease and reduce health disparities in DeKalb County, Georgia. With help from a REACH grant from the CDC, the Board of Health worked collaboratively with partners to implement tailored, community-based and participatory strategies to address poor nutrition and lack of physical activity and improve health outcomes.
