Allen County made national news this morning with the announcement that it is one of eight winners of the prestigious Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Culture of Health Prize.
Representatives from the foundation visited the county mid-summer to view recent efforts to make Allen County a healthier place to live. More than 200 applicants vied for the prize which comes with a $25,000 stipend. Perhaps more importantly, the award puts Allen County in league with other prize-winning communities across the nation that can share their secrets to success and access to funding.
