The Wellness Coalition was established when a group of healthcare providers came together to work on improving healthcare for persons with chronic diseases and little or no health insurance. Our Board Member Organizations include the major “safety net” healthcare providers—those serving underserved persons in five counties of Alabama’s River Region: Autauga, Elmore, Lowndes, Macon, and Montgomery.

The Wellness Coalition works with our community partners to coordinate services and share information to increase quality, efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare services. We focus on improving access to healthcare for persons with chronic diseases and limited or no health insurance in Central Alabama.

We also provide, through service contracts with local agencies, services for persons of other ages, such as elderly and children or those who are underinsured; and we provide community health and wellness interventions in other venues such as churches and community agencies. The Wellness Coalition has grown and added board member agencies, staff, and services. We are pleased to work toward improved individual and community health in the River Region, and to continue to establish the partnerships without which our goals could not be realized.
