the challenge

For generations, East San José has witnessed dwindling resources for community-centered care and wellness. These conditions affect our residents— our community experiences nationally high rates of chronic disease, stress, and loneliness. 

our belief

Addressing these conditions requires more than clinical care. Long-term healing begins with community in locally-rooted solutions that support cultural connection, shared experience, and physical and emotional well-being.

our initiatives

Here, families gather, move, learn, and care for one another in a welcoming, culturally grounded space. We strengthen social bonds and connection to nature through physical activity, nutritional knowledge, and routines that support a long-term wellness journey.
