OUR PRIORITIES
Community, Wellness and Prevention
PRIORITY 3: COMMUNITY, WELLNESS & PREVENTION
Health is more than treatment.
Health doesn’t start in the exam room — it begins in families, neighborhoods, workplaces, and communities.
Holistic care recognizes the full human experience.
When we focus on prevention, wellness, mental health, and lifestyle, outcomes improve and costs fall.
THE PROBLEM
- The healthcare system rewards treatment, not prevention
- Mental health and holistic wellness are chronically underfunded
- Communities lack resources for addiction recovery, nutrition, and healthy living
- Families often lack support until a crisis occurs
WHAT WE SUPPORT
- Preventative care that addresses root causes
- Mental health and addiction recovery support
- Community-based wellness initiatives
- Holistic treatment plans
- Lifestyle-based healing
- Programs that strengthen family and community supports
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR FAMILIES
- A healthier, more resilient community
- Fewer chronic conditions
- A supportive healthcare environment
- A system that values wellness, not just illness
