Our
Story
Following years of incubation, Path 2 HEALth, dba Path 2 HEALthy, was established in 2023 as a 501 (c)(3) Tax Exempt non-profit organization headquartered in Columbus, Ohio.
Path 2 HEALthy is the brainchild of a physician who simply wanted her patients, neighbors and those in her circle of influence to live life more abundantly! Despite the medications, specialist, and office visits and health dollars spent, many people still functioned like the walking wounded or felt like they were on a treadmill to nowhere. Social Determinants of Health engineered the silent struggles of so many, but the gift Dr. Wurapa called CARE Determinants of HEALth transformed lives. She had witnessed the healing force of kindness and living the Golden Rule during her childhood days overseas. The wisdom of her ancestors underscored that health & wellness were rooted in the pillars of faith, family, food, fitness, function and finance (especially social capital). This fueled the undertaking to have systems and communities deliver on the promise of healing and caring. She credits divine intervention as the catalyst to move forward on this journey to Transform Lives, Empower People, Strengthen Communities and Move Us towards Destination HEALthy!
Path 2 HEALthy is the living extension of a talented, diverse, & driven team of citizens who are determined to harness their brain trust, time, & resources to enrich their community, go beyond the deficiencies of the status quo, & help people achieve HEALth & Wellness. Come ride with us!
