Ghandi Daniels, Executive Director

“The work that The Wellness Coalition does is vital to our area because the services we provide help educate, promote and empower individuals to live a healthy lifestyle. Being able to reach the underserved population with services that they may not have had access to in their community and seeing the positive results after the education and lifestyle tools are provided is the most rewarding part of my job.”

Background:

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.

Brag Lines:

Established the River Region’s first CDC-recognized Diabetes Prevention Program, “Change Your Lifestyle. Change Your Life” (CYL2 ), in partnership with the Black Women’s Health Imperative and helped 70 percent of program participants meet or exceed the program goal of losing 5-7 percent of their body weight.
Spearheaded AstraZeneca HealthCare Foundation’s Connections for Cardiovascular HealthSM HeartLink program.
Developed a COVID street team to go door-to-door to educate residents and dispel myths about COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines.
