OUR STORY

In January 2014, Allegheny County launched Live Well Allegheny to promote wellness in Allegheny County. Led by the Board of Health and the health department’s Chronic Disease Prevention program, Live Well Allegheny highlights the importance of increasing physical activity and healthy eating, and of taking a proactive approach to health.

This long-term, community-wide effort focuses on more than just physical health. It also includes mental wellness, personal safety, community preparedness, and efforts to improve well-being and quality of life, education and health literacy. Live Well Allegheny‘s goals will evolve in response to trends, data and statistics brought to bear by the Health Department and its stakeholders.

WHO WE ARE

Live Well Allegheny, an initiative of the Allegheny County Health Department, is a county-wide campaign to improve the overall health and wellness of Allegheny County residents.
