Our goal is to build healthy Alabama communities through access to programs, education, and resources that promote health and wellness.
What is Healthy Alabama Communities?
Healthy Alabama Communities is an upcoming statewide program designed to give community leaders the tools to improve the overall health of their communities through environmental, policy, and system changes. The year-long program for cities and towns will provide community leaders with resources, education, and technical assistance to implement these positive changes. Each community enrolled in the program will receive a list of criteria that will act as a “checklist” to become a designated Healthy Alabama Community.
Who We Are
The goal of Healthy Alabama Communities will be to empower communities to prioritize the health of their residents through environmental, policy, and system changes. The program is a cooperative effort by the Alabama Hospital Association, the Alabama Department of Public Health, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama, and Alabama Communities of Excellence.
