Greenville Technical Charter High School is awarded Greenville Health Authority’s “Healthy Greenville, Too Grant” for health & safety program

Greenville Technical Charter High School was one of 22 Greenville County organizations to be awarded a grant as part of the Greenville Health Authority’s “Healthy Greenville” program. The awards, which were announced Tuesday, bring the total amount of Healthy Greenville grants to nearly $19.4 million since the program began two years ago.

Greenville Technical Charter High School was awarded $5,000 for its Get Intentional Toward Fitness (G.I.F.T.) exercise health safety program targeting students interested in pursuing health occupations. Greenville Technical College is collaborating.

“We look forward to working with Greenville Health Authority’s ‘Healthy Greenville’ grants program to improve the health of our community,” said Cynthia Fryer, Community Development Coordinator.

Prisma Health-Upstate, formerly Greenville Health System, is committed to improving the health and well-being of citizens of Greenville County, which includes health promotion, disease prevention and taking care of all in need. Part of that commitment is providing to GHA an annual commitment of $4 million for the Healthy Greenville program to support health-related care, health research and health education initiatives benefiting the residents of Greenville County.
