Kentucky Homeplace Program

About Homeplace - Residents of rural Kentucky have unusually high levels of certain diseases. These include cancer, heart disease, hypertension, asthma, and diabetes. Lifestyle choices, environmental factors, inadequate health insurance and general lack of understanding of the healthcare system are often cited as contributing to this condition. Kentucky Homeplace was created to help address these issues.

Awards and Recognition - Kentucky Homeplace's proven track record of success has been honored by various national and local organizations over the years.
