What is the Portland Health Alliance?
PHA is a local organization created by local wellness practitioners. We are committed to creating a robust and dynamic community for all wellness practitioners and health-supportive businesses in Portland, OR and the surrounding area. By creating this community, we hope to:
&diams connect practitioners and businesses to Portland's public
&diams help practitioners build their practices and maintain a strong and educated base of patients
&diams create a fun and dynamic community dedicated to the wellbeing of Portland's citzens!
Filling a Need
We recognize that there is a rapidly growing number of people who are seeking whole-health care to address their ailments. If we reach out to that population as a strong, cohesive community of practitioners and health-supportive businesses, those healthcare seekers will come to us better educated and prepared for their entry into our practices and businesses. In short, it strengthens everyone's practice and business when our community is strong!
Also, as wellness practitioners ourselves, we know first-hand how difficult it is to grow and maintain a vibrant practice and business. We created PHA and its counterpart wellpdx in order to address the often frustrating, isolating, confusing, and chaotic experience of being a wellness provider and business owner. With a supportive community of local folks, we believe the experience of being an effective practitioner and business person can be fun, creative, sustainable, and effective!
Giving Back
At PHA we believe strongly in giving back to our community. That's why we have created (and will continue to create) strong partnerships with local nonprofits and businesses dedicated to bettering the health of our community. As we build a sustainable schedule of panels, classes, events, and volunteer opportunites, there will be a way for all practitioners to engage in Portland's civic community.
