Vision Statement

The Center for Health and Healing is a new paradigm developing a partnership between the caregiver and the recipient for their mutual benefit.

Medical care should be a relationship in which the patients and the doctors/caregivers take care of each other in a loving, healing, and compassionate way.

The Center for Health and Healing is the new paradigm of a 501c3 corporation governed by a lay board with health care professionals providing care and also providing services outside the reach of a normal medical practice. These services include preventive medicine and education, “cutting edge” improved therapies, and healing prayer provided in a partnership dedicated to the mutual care of all.

Mission Statement

The Center for Health and Healing is a partnership between patient and physician and between caregiver and receiver for the mutual benefit of all.

The founders are concerned that too many people believe that the answer to a long and healthy life lies strictly in the field of conventional medicine and prescription drugs. They also believe there is a better way. Partnership medicine combines the best practices of conventional, holistic, natural, and nonwestern medicine in addition to addressing the mind-body connection and the power of prayer and healing.

The focus of the activities for the Center for Health and Healing will be to fulfill our vision through:

1. Developing educational programs for the public regarding the philosophy behind integrative medicine as well as the long term advantages and health benefits of appropriate nutrition, detoxification, exercise and guided supplementation along with developing a strong relationship with God.
2. Developing educational programs for healthcare professionals emphasizing the appropriate use of a myriad of protocols for guiding and improving the health of our patients.
3. Acquiring a medical practice that is already utilizing integrative, alternative, natural, and conventional medical practices combined with prayer, This is the model for the Center for Health and Healing. We realize that the “information age” is here and that there will have to be a constant evaluation and reevaluation of all the modalities available on a continual basis.
4. Providing patient care through the acquired medical practice noted above (#3).
5. Effectively utilizing the 47 years of medical practice experience and wisdom (29 years in alternative medicine and integrative medicine) of Dr. Ted Edwards to provide mentoring of the lay board and the medical staff delivering services.
6. In the future, developing the Center for Health and Healing as a true model for other practices to duplicate so that they too may produce similar benefits for their communities through the establishment of non-profit corporations with lay boards hiring and collaborating with the physicians providing their care.
