EARLY DAYS
Since its inception in 2017, LiveWell49 has been dedicated to driving community transformation and enhancing the health and wellness of Park County residents. Born as a community coalition for school and community wellness, LiveWell49 quickly evolved to address the mental health needs through initiatives like the LiveWell49 Resilience Project in 2019.

In 2021, the addition of a full-time position brought added capacity to the organization, coinciding with the beginning of fiscal sponsorship by Livingston HealthCare. The following year, amidst responding to a flood crisis, LiveWell49 conducted partner interviews that revealed mental health as a top priority concern. In 2023, staff transitions and reorganization marked a turning point as LiveWell49 began addressing data to inform its goals.
Throughout our history, LiveWell49 has worked toward a single purpose: improving the overall well-being of our community. Each year presents new opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and growth. We owe our success to key milestones and the continued dedication of our team and partners, without whom our mission would not have come to life.
