Open Source Wellness

Open Source Wellness is a national nonprofit with a mission of Creating “Community as Medicine”

"When Dr. Ben Emmert-Aronson and I committed to founding Open Source Wellness in 2016, our vision was to design a “Behavioral Pharmacy,” or a democratized and experiential delivery system for one universal prescription: MOVE, NOURISH, CONNECT, and BE."  - Dr. Elizabeth Markle

OUR COMMITMENTS

We prioritize access and cultural relevance.

We are deeply committed that Community As Medicine be available to and designed for the patients and communities who need it the most, and do not have access to the boutique wellness system.

​

We are: 

  • Equity-Centered

  • Experiential 

  • Trauma-Informed 

  • Trans-Diagnostic

  • Culturally Humble 

 

Above all, we are committed to cultural relevance; that our work be flexible enough to be implemented with diverse populations and in diverse locations with respect to the histories, needs, and preferences of different groups.  We are focused on partnering with clinical healthcare and community organizations (YMCAs) to train and support them to deliver this model.
