Big news for Southern Illinois! Our coalition partner Arrowleaf has been awarded a $1.2 million grant from Health Resources and Services Administration.
The grant is for Arrowleaf to lead the Southern Illinois Rural Health Special Track Opportunity initiative — one of only 10 grants awarded in the nation!
Over the next 4 years, this award will create new jobs in the Alexander, Johnson, Massac and Pulaski Counties region and bring life-saving services like preventative screenings, nutrition-focused care, and evidence-based models like Food is Medicine to rural communities.
The grant is in partnership with Massac Memorial Hospital, Rural Health Inc., Southern Seven Health Department, and the U of I Extension.
