According to kentuckyhealthfacts.org in Bullitt County twenty-four percent of adults have reported that they have hypertension.

To address this issue, in January of 2022 the Bullitt County Extension Office was once again able to partner with the Mt. Washington Library to offer the Healthy Choices for Everybody series in person.

Six participants attended the classes that included tips for physical activity, My Plate, Food Safety, Breakfast, Budgeting, How to Read Nutrition Labels, Know the Limits on Fats, Sugars and Salt. At the end of the series a participant made the remark that she was going to make sure that she started reading the nutrition labels on all food before she bought it.

According to beginning and ending comparison data from a national reporting system,67% of participants showed improvement in making food choices by reading the nutrition facts on their food to make better choices.
