Mission & Impact

Building a healthier, more connected community through accessible, whole-person wellness, prevention, education, and participation.

Why Elevate Exists

Elevate was created to help extend health beyond traditional clinical care and into the places where people live, work, learn, move, connect, and participate.

As a Mammoth Hospital program, Elevate brings together prevention, wellness, education, movement, performance, recovery, and community connection in ways that are practical, welcoming, and responsive to local needs.

Our Mission, Vision & Purpose

Our Mission

To improve community health and wellbeing by making evidence-informed wellness, prevention, movement, education, and connection more accessible and actionable.

Our Vision

A community where people have the knowledge, opportunities, support, and confidence to participate fully in their health and in the lives they want to live.

Our Purpose

To help bridge the space between healthcare and everyday life through practical programs, trusted expertise, community partnerships, and meaningful participation.

From Community Need to Community Action

Elevate grew from a broader effort to respond to local community health needs and create more opportunities for prevention, education, physical activity, resilience, connection, and wellbeing outside traditional medical visits.

That work continues to shape how Elevate develops programs today.

Prevention

Create opportunities to build health, skills, and confidence before a problem becomes a crisis.

Access

Reduce barriers by offering affordable, approachable programs in community settings.

Connection

Create opportunities for people to learn, move, reflect, recover, and belong together.

Participation

Support people in doing more of what matters to them across different ages, abilities, and stages of life.

Education

Turn health information into practical knowledge, skills, and confidence people can use.

Partnership

Work with local organizations, employers, schools, events, clinicians, and community leaders to expand what is possible.

Wellness Should Be Accessible

Elevate is designed to create more entry points into health and wellbeing, not fewer.

That means building programs that are welcoming, practical, community-based, and responsive to different levels of experience, ability, resources, and readiness.

Welcoming

Programs should feel approachable to people with different backgrounds, experiences, and levels of confidence.

Affordable

We work to keep many community wellness programs free or affordable and to reduce financial barriers whenever possible.

Community-Based

Health resources should reach people in the places where they already live, work, learn, recreate, and gather.

Guided by Community Health Needs

Elevate's direction is informed by Mammoth Hospital's community health planning and by what we continue to hear from participants, partners, clinicians, and local organizations.

As community needs change, programs can change too.

The 2019 assessment helped identify needs and opportunities that informed the development of Elevate.

Elevate's Response

Programs evolve in response to community needs, participation, partnerships, emerging opportunities, and feedback.

What Impact Looks Like

Numbers matter, but the broader goal is to change how people can engage with health in everyday life.

Earlier Engagement

More opportunities to engage with prevention, education, movement, and wellbeing before clinical needs become more complex.

Lifelong Participation

Programs that help people remain active, capable, informed, and engaged across different stages of life.

Stronger Community Connections

More opportunities for people, organizations, healthcare professionals, and community partners to learn and work together.

Health Is a Community Effort

Elevate works best when healthcare is connected with schools, workplaces, nonprofits, local businesses, events, outdoor recreation, community organizations, and the people who live here.

Partnerships help us extend programs beyond a single location and build experiences around real community needs.

Community Events

Screenings, recovery, education, awareness initiatives, races, and community wellness experiences.

Organizations & Workplaces

Wellness, prevention, safety, resilience, movement, and education designed around organizational needs.

Schools & Community Partners

Programs that connect health, learning, youth development, families, and community resources.
