This is a collection of stories featuring ASPHN members and their work. We showcase successful work by public health nutritionists working in state-level programs.
We have been collecting these stories since 2012 and add to the story bank as new stories are written. The stories are organized by topic and at the bottom of this page the stories are listed alphabetically by state. Some states have more than one success story. Other state stories are available on the Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity webpage following work with 1305 grantees to write success stories on funded strategies.
