   The St. Joseph Community Health Foundation is giving away almost half a million dollars in grant money to dozens of local agencies.  The grants will be used to improve health care for low-income, underinsured, and uninsured people. 

   The foundation’s director, Meg Distler, says agencies with a strong track record of providing quality medical assistance were considered for the money.  In the end, 38 agencies will split $426,870 in local grants. 

   One of the agencies receiving money is Healthier Moms and Babies.  FOX Fort Wayne has the story of a teenage mom and her baby son whose lives are a little better because of it.
