Atlanta, GA Emory Healthcare, in partnership with the Atlanta Falcons and Publix, has launched "Healthy Georgia," a comprehensive public health initiative aimed at promoting a healthier lifestyle among Georgia residents.

Healthy Georgia kicked off on December 1, 2024 before the Falcons’ home game versus the Los Angeles Chargers as an interactive experience at the Home Depot Backyard at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The event offered fans the opportunity to participate in a fun and engaging NFL Combine-style challenge.

 

This initiative promotes heart health, overall fitness, and injury prevention while engaging with fans.
