Healthy Neighbors: Expanding healthcare access in east Alabama
Tanner Health is committed to improving healthcare access for families throughout east Alabama. Through the Healthy Neighbors - East Alabama initiative and in partnership with Live Well Alabama — a SNAP-Ed initiative developed by the Alabama Cooperative Extension System at Auburn University — we’re working to remove the obstacles that often stand in the way of care, like lack of transportation, limited awareness or provider shortages.
