The Fulton County Community Foundation recently awarded a $2,757 grant to the Harold W. McMillen Center for Health Education in support of its project Preventive Health Education for Fulton County.
This initiative will provide 15 preventive health education programming sessions for approximately 350 Fulton County students between August 2025 and April 2026. The sessions, led by McMillen Health’s professional educators, are designed to increase student knowledge of critical health topics by at least 35 percent, equipping young people with the tools they need to lead healthier lives.
McMillen Health, which has been serving Fulton County since 1994, offers more than 250 preventive health education topics covering areas such as dental health, nutrition and fitness, substance use, teen suicide, social-emotional health, and programs tailored to students with disabilities, among others. Sessions are delivered in multiple formats, including in-person, outreach, live distance learning, and e-learning.
"We are grateful to the Fulton County Community Foundation for making it possible to bring our preventive health education to their students," stated McMillen Health's Interim Executive Director, Taylor Yoder. "Our goal is not only to provide engaging programming, but to ensure students walk away with the tools to lead healthier, brighter futures.”
Since opening in 1981, McMillen Health has served more than two million students with preventive health education, including over 16,000 students in Fulton County.
This grant was made possible through the generosity of donors to community funds at the Fulton County Community Foundation. To learn more about how to support programs like this or apply for future grants, visit www.nicf.org or contact the Foundation at 574-223-2227.
