Promoting wholeness
to live God’s healing love

Quality

Quality means considering the whole person. We champion solutions that integrate providers, systems and social determinants of health.

Cost

Health care is expensive. We believe costs are driven by cures and the health of a community. By addressing the social determinants of health, we can reduce the financial burden of seeking care.

Transformation

We care for the body, mind and spirit. By addressing the entirety of a patient’s life, we’re transforming their health care experience.

Faith

As Seventh-day Adventists, we’ve always believed in wholeness and balance. That’s why we embrace policies that support the entirety of a person.
