that
were non-profit organizations (44 percent)
and
local health departments (37 percent) than

of grantees fell into the “other”
category that
included universities and tribal organizations.
More grantees served a predominantly urban
population (66 percent) than a rural (21
percent)
or urban/rural mix (13 percent). In addition,
the
majority of grantees (55 percent) received
their
first Healthy Start grant in the second
