Since winning the UAB Grand Challenge in 2019, Live HealthSmart Alabama has developed a comprehensive plan to improve health outcomes in Alabama.
With five demonstration areas in Birmingham—Bush Hills, East Lake, Kingston, Titusville, and UAB campus—our team has been able to create improvements in policy, systems, and the built environment. These improvements have brought about change in critical areas such as prevention and wellness, healthy eating, physical activity, and education.
To help further these activities, our team works with businesses, schools, houses of faith, and non-profits that engage the well-being of their employees. After a thorough application process, selected organizations are awarded The Designation.
Designees work one-on-one with our team to show their commitment to a healthy lifestyle. This includes spotlighting their current efforts and implementing new initiatives recommended by our team. This active approach allows organizations to take part in the transformation of our state into a place where everyone can enjoy a healthy future.
This summer, our team awarded the inaugural group of designated partners. Congratulations to each of our awardees.
