We speak with Kristin Overton the Chief Strategy Officer for Healthy Living 4 ME about  $1.2 Million Grant Awarded to Healthy Living for ME. The recently awarded three-year, $1.2 million grant from the Administration for Community Living will allow Healthy Living for ME to strengthen its overall work, expand its Chronic Disease Self-Management Education (CDSME) services in Maine and bring existing and new programming to a wider statewide population.

Prior to joining Spectrum Generations, she spent time in the banking, residential apartment rental, and temporary staffing industries.
