Elevated Health and Community
Elevating individual health and building community, one event at a time!
Mission
Our mission is to disrupt health disparities and build a more human-centered healthcare system by strengthening patient advocacy, creating inclusive community health experiences, and equipping and cultivating equity-driven healthcare leaders and institutions.
Vision
We envision a future where high-quality, socially equitable healthcare is the standard—not a privilege. Our goal is to shift the system from a “sick care” model to one that prioritizes overall health and well-being, and every patient is empowered with the access, information, and resources needed to make informed decisions about their health.
What We Do
We bridge the gap between communities and the healthcare system by:
Advocating for patients during appointments and care navigation—especially those impacted by chronic illness, systemic bias, or care disparities.
Hosting community-centered health events that support physical, mental, and social well-being in culturally affirming and accessible ways.
Training healthcare professionals and institutions through performance-driven, equity-focused development that aligns care delivery with community needs.
