Psychologists honor KHN publisher Cross for health work

The Kentucky Psychological Association recently recognized Kentucky Health News Publisher Al Cross, director of the Institute for Rural Journalism and Community Issues at the University of Kentucky, for "his outstanding career in journalism, his work in bringing coverage to every corner of the Commonwealth and his passion for improving the health of Kentucky," KPA and the university said in press releases.

Cross's work to advance the health of Kentucky is reflected in Kentucky Health News, which is published with support from the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky, and the institute's national publication, The Rural Blog. Cross is a member of the Friedell Committee for Health System Transformation, a statewide group working on ways to improve the health in Kentucky.
