Alas de America Institute is dedicated to designing programs that create a culture of wellness within the community. We educate, support, and empower community members to improve and maintain their overall health and well-being through healthy lifestyle choices. We are committed to developing the physical, emotional, mental, social, environmental, occupational and spiritual dimensions of wellness.

Guiding Principles

We promote the improvement of the well-being of our diverse community, regardless of health or socioeconomic status.

We educate, support and empower community members to make lifestyle choices that enhance awareness, encourage responsible decision-making, and promote behaviors that support good health, prevention of disease, and management of chronic health problems.

We develop an evaluation and improvement process to help measure the Institute's effectiveness and abide by best practice, evidence-based standards and guidelines.

We are committed to an inclusive process in the development of health improvement programs and invite participation and collaboration from those in the community, academia, the wellness sector and health-related professions.
