Healthy Living

Physical Activity

Everyone can benefit from regular physical activity. Regular, moderately intense physical activity is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. We can help you find ways to easily add exercise and play into every day.

Smoking Cessation

Each year more than 8,000 Kentuckians die of illnesses caused by tobacco use. Some die of lung cancer, others of heart disease. Even more become sick from smoking, chewing tobacco, or breathing second-hand smoke. Young children are in the greatest danger when breathing in tobacco smoke; it can lead to a lifetime of health problems.

We can help you quit!

Diabetes

Diabetes is a disease in which blood glucose (sugar) levels are above normal. Most of the food we eat is turned into glucose, or sugar, for our bodies to use for energy. The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose get into the cells of our bodies. When you have diabetes, your body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't use its own insulin as well as it should. This causes sugar to build up in your blood.

Diabetes is a complex disease that requires daily self-management—making healthy food choices, staying physically active, monitoring your blood sugar and taking medications as prescribed by your doctor. Successful self-management will help you feel better and can reduce your chance of developing complications including heart disease, blindness, kidney disease, nerve damage and amputation..

Our staff can help you learn to help yourself or your loved ones through classes and personal counseling.

Kentucky Diabetes Resources Directory

This site helps you find diabetes resources such as nearby classes, support groups, doctors and dietitians to help you learn more and manage diabetes in yourself or a loved one.

Adult Weight Control

Carrying extra pounds can increase your risk for developing diabetes, having a heart attack or stroke, hurting your joints, and wearing out your body. We can help you find changes for yourself and your family with the foods you eat and your physical activities.

Childhood Obesity

Helping toddlers, children, and youth to have a healthy body weight can be hard. We have staff and programs to help adults choose and prepare healthy foods for their children (and themselves) and build play and physical activity into their lives. The WIC Program in particular can help families with children under 5 years of age.

Emergency Preparedness

Emergency Preparedness for the Individual

No matter what kind of emergency may occur – a natural disaster or a terrorist event – you need to take steps NOW to prepare yourself and your family for any type of emergency. Develop a Family Disaster Plan so you know what to do if you’re separated, and create a Emergency Supply Kit to safely shelter-in-place.

Medical Reserve Corps

In the event of a large-scale public health emergency, health and medical systems need extra hands to care for the sick. We work with the K HELPS program to register health professionals, apply emergency credentialing standards and allow for the verification of the identity, credentials and qualifications of prospective volunteers. If you are a health professional and would like to volunteer, please call us or click on the header for more information.
