While an event any more, instead of the Albion Community Hospital Ball, there was a Holiday B.A.S.H., which is now a Fall newsletter with a recap of the past year and thanks to everyone who participated. Then we wanted another letter looking forward to the year ahead so we have just added a Spring newsletter! You may be getting a letter from Albion Health Care Alliance.

We will be sharing more information later about the issues of “food deserts,” creating and strengthening better systems of food distribution, and health equity.

Labor Day Albion Walk the Trail
Albion Healthcare Alliance Executive Director was Nidia Wolf from 1990 – 1995. She had started the Labor Day Albion Trail Walk before that, when she was the director of Albion’s Downtown Development Authority. Over the years, the walk kept changing and now includes a stopover at History Hill in Holland Park. Albion Healthcare Alliance is committed to healthy outdoor activities. See photos from past years below, and for more information visit https://albionmich.net/labor-day-albion-walk-the-trail/
Vaccination Clinics
Below are some recent clinics that were organized by Albion Health Care Alliance in conjunction with other groups including Calhoun County Health Department and Grace Health. These were posts on Facebook, so to visit our Facebook page go to this link: https://www.facebook.com/albion.hca

Albion Health Care Alliance also participates in local events to raise awareness for vaccinations. We have Health Ambassadors that go door to door to let people know about clinics. The program evolved from our Neighborhood Health Visitors Program that would help to raise awareness of health options for residents of Albion.
