Alamance Wellness Collaborative 2025 Wellness Summit

This year’s Wellness Summit will celebrate a decade of collaboration, innovation, and community-driven change that has shaped the health and well-being of Alamance County. The event will feature a panel of local leaders, parents, and partners who have championed tobacco-free parks, helped launch the Impact Alamance app, and created inclusive spaces for every family. Together, we’ll reflect on the stories that brought us here and the continued work to build a community where everyone feels connected, supported, and well.

Learn how a simple idea sparked a powerful policy shift. This panel tells the story of how the Alamance Wellness Collaborative helped Burlington adopt a tobacco-free parks policy—featuring insights from a former fellow, a pediatrician, and a parks director. Discover how community voice and cross-sector advocacy can influence health policy at the local level.

What happens when seven parks and recreation departments decide to work as one? This panel explores the creation of the Active Alamance App—a tool that brings all local amenities into one accessible platform. You’ll hear how a shared vision, strategic planning, and digital collaboration led to a true systems-level transformation.

Inclusion starts with listening. This panel features a parent of a child with a disability and two local parks directors who worked together to make public spaces more welcoming for all. Hear how design, feedback, and partnership can lead to healthier, more inclusive parks—and a more connected community.
