Work Toward a Designation

Thank you for your interest in the Live HealthSmart Alabama Designation!

Good things take time. If you're trying to decide whether or not your organization is ready to become a designation, this page will help you get on the right track. If you haven't already, email us at livehealthsmart@uabmc.edu to set up a FREE 30-minute wellness check-up. Together, we’ll discuss your organization’s wellness goals and how you might meet them.

In addition to the check-up, you have access to the downloadable resources below to encourage your wellness goals.

To start, try implementing the healthy living initiatives below. If you're already doing these things, great!

  • Encourage employees to take short physical activity breaks or “exercise snacks” during the day.
  • Ensure that clean, cool water is always available to employees at no cost.
  • Post promotional signage on vending machines to spotlight healthier items or encourage employees to bring a healthy lunch at least twice a week.
  • Host annual educational sessions including, but not limited to, the relationship between lifestyle and health, weight management, smoking cessation, healthy lifestyle choices, and behavioral change and skill-building programs.

When you're ready, download and display these signs in public spaces throughout your organization.
