A Statewide Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Program
that allows employers with less than 500 employees the benefit of
comprehensive health benefits for all their workers. The program
is funded out of tobacco taxes levied on each sale. The proceeds

communities with high risk populations.

disability from Cardiovascular Disease
- Are less likely to start programs without financial and technical
assistance
- Have under 500 employees
