Overview

Mission

To benefit communities with lifestyle health education programs presented by volunteers, both medical professionals and lay trainers, teaching the use of simple natural remedies and lifestyle habits to both treat and reverse chronic diseases without further burdening the health care systems and to provide a resource center for the public to obtain educational materials and supplies to effectively incorporate lifestyle changes being taught.

What it reported doing in 2025

Lifestyle Health Education programs were also conducted at the home office of the corporation in Virginia for the public with minimal fees to clients. These programs were attended by 57 persons and were conducted by volunteer medical professionals and lay volunteers throughout the year. A Dinner with the Doctor presentation by a local physician about Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease, How to Boost Your Brain Health was much appreciated and the patrons enjoyed a whole foods plant-based meal as well as an encouraging talk on an issue facing many of us today. Another Dinner with the Doctor presentation along with a plant-based meal was on the topic Origins of and Solutions for Arthritis which was of very great interest to the attendees. Another physician presentation was on the topic Living a Great Life highlighting the implementation of a simple lifestyle with whole food plant-based nutrition and simple natural remedies and fresh air, good rest, sunshine, daily exercise, water, temperance in all good things and abstinence from all harmful things, and trust in divine power for good emotional and mental health. None of our guest physician lecturers received any remuneration and fees were charged only if the attendee chose to eat the meal. Volunteers are always available at the Center's home office on days it is open to assist clients with health questions or needs and provide printed health education materials as well as plant-based recipes to aid clients in improving their health.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
