Double win for the teams helping Alabama's elders stay home, healthy and independent

A care network serving 18 counties across southern Alabama and the Florida Panhandle has earned rare double recognition in the federal Health at Home Challenge — winning with its own team and as part of a national consortium of community care hubs. The work is practical: care navigation, fall prevention, nutrition and smooth hospital-to-home transitions that help older adults on Medicare and Medicaid stay where they most want to be — home.
