In 2010, Floyd was awarded support through the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth (VFHY) to conduct a community needs and resource assessment resulting in the Healthy Community Team (HCTeam) and the Floyd County Childhood Obesity Prevention Plan.  Since then, VFHY has continued to support the HCTeam in its efforts to improve the health and well-being of Floyd County families.

In 2016, the HCTeam incorporated as its own local non-profit, HEALTHY FLOYD.
