“The Wellness Foundation is an important addition to our healthcare community. Since its beginning, many of my patients have benefited from a new awareness of how their lifestyle affects their health far more effectively than I could ever do as a health care provider.”

—George P. Dempsey, MD

“I applaud the Wellness Foundation for promoting a diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, and fruits while lowering the consumption of processed foods, meat and dairy.
