We believe being healthy is a basic human right. Everyone deserves access to care and resources. And more importantly, everyone deserves to feel empowered to take charge of their own health.

Health is not simply a lack of illness. It includes feeling physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually able to fully engage in one's own life in the ways one desires. Everyone has the right to make their own choices about their body. When seeking care, everyone has the right to fully understand the benefits, risks, and potential limits of that care and freely choose whether or not to accept that care. Everyone has the right to safe care, and to feel safe in the setting where they receive care. Care should always maintain confidentiality between the person receiving care and the person providing it. And finally, everyone has a right to all necessary care regardless of age, gender, sexual identity, socioeconomic status, race, nationality, citizenship status, spiritual beliefs, religious affiliation, family structure, level of education, or any other identity characteristics.

Best health results from focusing on the needs of the whole person and supporting the individual's wellness. The seven basic elements of wellness include nutrition, sleep, environment, movement, relationships, resilience, and spirituality. These elements come together to allow the individual to best care for their body, mind, and spirit in support of whole person health. Whole person health means the individual is able to fully participate in those things that are meaningful and desired in their life.
