We recently hosted a Shopper’s Appreciation event at Birmingham Towers where shoppers were given $25 vouchers to our Mobile Market! Shoppers were able to choose from a variety of fresh produce, pantry staples, proteins, and dairy. We had such a wonderful time and look forward to hosting similar events in the future. A thank you also to the UnitedHealthcare team for joining us at the event to provide the shoppers with important information on health insurance.

About us
When it comes to health indicators, Alabama ranks among the lowest in the U.S. In Alabama, 67% of people are living with a chronic disease—that’s almost 7 out of every 10 people you know. Health is a complex equation, dealing not only with the provision of medical care, but with a broad series of factors impacting the lives of individuals and neighborhoods. These factors include zip code, income, education, race/ethnicity, family history, and many other issues. At Live HealthSmart Alabama, we are implementing changes to remove barriers to making healthy choices—with a specific focus on reducing those barriers in education, good nutrition, physical activity, and prevention & wellness.
