LiveWell STL Receives New Funding

MHI is currently building LiveWell STL, a web-based, searchable community resource guide. This online health resource allows consumers the ability to easily find parks, fitness classes, and other health-related resources near their homes and workplaces. One of the most exciting features of this tool includes the use of several filters, making it easy for users to narrow down the multitude of options and find the one that perfectly fits their needs. These filters narrow health resources by type, age, location, day of week, time of day, and whether they have cost or require membership. Recently, the protoype of this online tool led to new funding in the form of a $100,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and United Health Foundation. To see the press release on this exciting news, click here.
