(Indianapolis, Ind.) - The Indiana House of Representatives voted on Tuesday in support of legislation establishing a new public health grant program, according to State Reps. Randy Lyness (R-West Harrison) and Cindy Ziemke (R-Batesville).
“Our state continues to be near the bottom for several health rankings nationally,” Lyness said. As Hoosiers, we can do better and these grants could provide new tools to fight the most critical health issues we are facing.”
Under the proposed legislation supported by Lyness and Ziemke, the grant program would fund initiatives aimed at addressing the most challenging health issues in Indiana. According to the United Health Foundation s 2020 American Health Ranking, Indiana falls at the bottom of several categories, including smoking rates, obesity rates, physical inactivity and multiple chronic conditions.
