Health Agencies Nab Grants for Community Improvement

On Monday, the National Association of County and City Health Officials announced individual grants of $35,000 to the Plumas County Public Health Agency in Chester, the San Francisco Department of Public Health and 10 other local health departments around the country for community health improvement projects.
