New year, same us - coming to our Alabama communities. 🎆🩷

This week, we’ve been on-site across the state, working alongside clinic teams and community partners to answer questions, complete genetic sample collection, and host lunch-and-learns in the Scottsboro, Montgomery, and Birmingham areas. Grateful for the clinics and community partners who continue to welcome us into their spaces. We’re excited for the year ahead!

Our Fall Tailgating Series wrapped up this weekend at the Iron Bowl, and what a season it’s been! We loved being out across Alabama this fall, connecting with fans, sharing Catalyst, and celebrating the communities that make this state special. To everyone who joined our program, asked questions, spun our wheel, or just said hello, thank you for making this fall unforgettable. More to come soon! 🏈💥

We loved spending the day onsite with yesterday. Patients came by before work, throughout the morning, and on their lunch breaks to learn about Catalyst and receive free clinical-grade genetic testing, and we are so grateful to their amazing providers and staff for welcoming us into their clinic. Moments like this show the power of meeting people where they are and supporting communities right in their own neighborhoods. 💜🧬

Huge thank you to our Engagement Specialists Tonya and Alicia for the work they are doing every day to bring Catalyst to families across Alabama. If your Alabama clinic, business, or organization is interested in onsite genetic testing, we would love to talk.

What an incredible weekend at the 1st Annual Birmingham Black Men’s Wellness Day at Railroad Park. Our Catalyst team showed up proud to support a movement focused on prevention, empowerment, and community strength.

We loved meeting everyone, answering questions, and sharing how free clinical-grade genetic testing can help individuals take charge of their health and their future.

Huge thank-you to the African American Male Wellness Agency for bringing this event to Birmingham and creating a space where Black men’s health is celebrated, uplifted, and prioritized.

The takeaway of the day: Get checked out, not checked in.

Kickin’ It with Catalyst brought UAB students together for an afternoon of kickball, community, and great conversations. Olivia did an incredible job creating a space where students could connect, learn about their health, and grab a free coffee on the way. We’re truly grateful for our ambassadors and the heart they put into engaging students and bringing Catalyst to campus.
