Six pillars · partners · innovations
Every pillar has an address.
One structure holds most of it together. Healing Vessels International, a 501(c)(3), connects a teaching arm, an infrastructure arm and a spiritual arm. AthleticsMD's clinical work in Maryland funds them, and the software runs all of them. The principle is short: care here funds care everywhere.
