With the My Source Community Impact Awards for engagement, KTOO is being recognized for their project, Taking One Step. 

KTOO partnered with Juneau’s Bartlett Regional Hospital on Taking One Step.  The program identifies community health concerns and encourages participants to take steps toward greater well-being.  Bartlett and KTOO worked with one of Juneau's low-income housing communities, Gruening Park, where 40 percent of the residents are Alaskan Natives.  After surveying their baseline health and attending monthly events, interested residents formed a health group and came up with the idea of building a community garden.  Following a successful first harvest, the project is expanding to include more families this year.
