Mission, Vision & Values

Mission

Our mission is to bridge the gap between healthcare consumers and the holistic, complementary, alternative and integrative healthcare industry.

Vision

Our vision is of a shift in our national health landscape to one that fully utilizes the combined resources of integrative health and wellness practices, allopathic medical practices, and empowered healthcare consumers. This common-sense approach, when done on a large scale, will lower insurance premiums, reduce hospital stays, shrink family and national health costs, and will positively impact the health of future generations for years to come.

Values

• All healthcare consumers are fundamentally whole and well and should be respected as such, no matter what their current condition. A broken system, bone, or spirit does not equal a broken person.
• A triangular connection among conventional medical practitioners, integrative/holistic practitioners, and consumers is in the consumer’s best interest.
• Empowering consumers to have a stronger voice in their own health is an ethical responsibility of all health and wellness service providers.
• The consumer is ultimately responsible for making informed decisions related to their health and wellness.
• Health consumers need a 24/7 supportive community for encouragement, expression, and example to thrive and to assist them in their decision-making process.
• Health practitioners need a national, 24/7 supportive community for the latest information to best support their clients and their practices.
• Most quality of life concerns are related to health and can be prevented through quality consumer reporting, empowerment, and effective implementation of integrative health and wellness practices.
• We believe in providing integrative and holistic health stakeholders a national voice with a global perspective.
• We support fundamental human rights as a necessary part of overall wellness.
• Those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action.
• As an organization, we have a responsibility toward the health of our planet and our global community, as they are vital resources for healthy living.
