The trailer is part of a program called Live HealthSmart that aims to improve the health of Alabamians.The administrator of the federal department in charge of Medicare and Medicaid visited Birmingham Thursday to find out how communities are working to improve the health of their most vulnerable citizens.
“What we’re seeing in health care, in particular, is how important primary care is. How important preventive care is,” Brooks-LaSure said. “People only get those services if they have these established relationships. So that’s the other thing that really stood out to me, the importance of going to where people need care and developing those trusted relationships with the providers.”
The program targeted four neighborhoods in Birmingham: Kingston, Bush Hills, East Lake and Titusville. Corporate partners that include construction companies and Alabama Power helped improve lighting and park facilities. Medical students and engineering students have also participated in projects to improve neighborhood infrastructure and provide health care in the communities.
