Southeastern Ohio has some of the highest rates of chronic diseases in the country. In forming the “Live Healthy Appalachia” initiative (LHA – www.livehealthyappalachia.org ), community leaders in and around the city of Athens, OH are committed to begin an assault on the deadly conditions of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. LHA is a partnership which includes Ohio University, the City of Athens, Athens County Department of Public Health, and Athens City & County schools.
Louise Koons DiLullo, LHA Initiative Coordinator, and Tom Kostohryz, founder of LHA, joined the show to share their program’s vision and purpose. We discussed some of the key programs and events that are planned; and we learned their expectations on what will make LHA a successful and sustainable initiative.
