Our Mission.

At the Wellness Education Foundation, our mission is to educate the public on the importance of wellness and preventive health. We believe that true well-being includes the physical, mental, emotional, and social aspects of a person — and that empowering people with the right tools and knowledge can lead to healthier, longer, more fulfilling lives.

Who We Are.

Founded in 1992 by a group of wellness-oriented healthcare professionals, the Wellness Education Foundation is a nationwide nonprofit organization dedicated to making wellness education accessible, practical, and impactful for all.
With over 700 professional members across the country, WEF has helped hundreds of employers and thousands of individuals improve their health outcomes through a proactive, sustainable approach to wellness.

“Most employers haven’t been educated to look at the real impact of lifestyle risk factors on their workforce — yet the costs are clear, and the solutions are simple. Our mission is to make wellness proactive, not reactive. That’s how we truly change lives.”

— Dr. David Wade, Founder & President

Know your numbers. Understand your health.

We start by collecting your biometric data and guiding you through a simple online Health Risk Assessment (HRA). With this information, we’ll determine your “Real Age” — a powerful insight into your current health status and future risk factors.
It’s the first step toward making smarter, more proactive health choices.
