One thing we can all agree on, Everyone Deserves the Opportunity To Be Well
Our focus is creating equitable community -based wellness for the city of Madison and beyond. Together, our members are committed to serving their communities and having a positive impact on our collective wellbeing.
We are guided by these Key Principles
1.
Being well shows up in different aspects of our lives. It involves awareness and attendance to our mental, relational, physical, spiritual, nutritional, purposeful, environmental, and financial wellbeing.
2.
Relationships matter, focusing on local connection-building between providers and their fellow community members has a positive ripple effect on us all.
3.
We listen to what is present and offer what is relevant. We don’t determine your wellness needs, you do. We work to build services that are beneficial to our local communities.
4.
Wellness providers are often called on to give and then give more. Burn-out is real and it is an obstacle we need to address. Fair compensation for community-based wellness services is crucial to make real, sustain-able change.
Be Well Membership
Our members, made up of local wellness providers, understand there is a connection between individual and community wellbeing. We created this collective because we believe that together we can have a more sustainable impact on the health of our communities. We bring our combined skills, knowledge and desire for positive change and are committed to offering free or low-cost preventative, life-affirming wellness services.
Our public health care system is not as effective as it can be. One reason: it does not provide consistent affordable and accessible preventative wellness services to our underserved community members.
Our mission is to address these gaps in access, building relevant wellness services and programming within our local neighborhood and community centers.
