On Saturday, May 6, 2023, Homewood residents gathered to celebrate We Love Homewood Day 2023 (WLHD) at Homewood Central Park.

The event occurred between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and was filled with various festivities highlighting the community’s love for Homewood.

A cherished highlight of WLHD was the inclusion of various inflatable structures, thrilling rides, and engaging activities suitable for individuals of all ages. Attendees had the opportunity to engage in these delightful attractions and celebrate in the festive spirit.

The presence of the UAB Sports and Exercise Medicine team at the event was well-received, and a substantial number of people made sure to visit our booth.

We distributed an abundance of UAB Sports and Exercise Medicine merchandise while also providing valuable information about the comprehensive health services we extend to the entire greater Birmingham community.

“We had a great turnout from sports medicine employees, and a large number of people stopped by,” said Aaron Casp, M.D., assistant professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery.

The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery is honored to participate in events like WLHD that support our local Birmingham communities and its residents.
