Live Well County has announced that Tyme Out Steakhouse, 101 Continental Drive, in Grandview Plaza has received a Pathways to a Healthy Kansas Achievement grant for installation of a main floor family restroom.

The funds will be used to build an accessible restroom on the main floor of the restaurant. Tyme Out is also working with a dietitian contracted by Live Well Geary County to introduce new healthy items to their menu. It will include weekly healthy specials and more options on the children’s menu. With every entree patrons can choose a salad or fruit cup as a side along with or instead of traditional potato offerings.

Owner Ty Glessner said he’s excited about the changes, “the new bathroom will allow customers access without having to go up the stairs to the second floor where the only restroom facility is currently located.” Glessner hopes the addition of new items to the menu will provide customers with an opportunity for healthier choices when dining out.

Geary County is one of 16 Kansas communities selected to participate in the Pathways to a Healthy Kansas program, which is the largest community grant program ever funded by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas. Live Well Geary County has received a $100,000 coordination grant; Geary County schools, worksites, restaurants, food retail outlets and other organizations have the opportunity to apply for non-competitive implementation and achievement grants amounting to $400,000 through 2020..
