COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

Better Together

Building Healthier Communities Through Partnership

Elevate works with schools, employers, sports organizations, adaptive recreation programs, athlete communities, and other local partners to bring wellness, education, movement, performance, recovery, and connection into the places where people already live, work, learn, train, and gather.

Our partnerships are built around shared goals and real community needs.

Wellness Beyond Our Walls

Some of Elevate's most meaningful work happens outside our own facility.

Through community partnerships, we can meet people where they are and create wellness experiences that make sense for a particular school, workplace, team, event, or community.

That may mean bringing a workshop to a group, supporting athletes at an event, providing preseason screening, creating employee wellness programming, or connecting community members with resources available through Elevate and Mammoth Hospital.

What Can a Partnership Look Like?

Elevate partnerships can take many forms.

On-Site Programming

Bring movement, wellness, education, screening, or recovery to the partner's location.

Community Events

Create interactive wellness experiences at races, festivals, school events, or community gatherings.

Classes & Workshops

Develop education, movement, performance, recovery, or wellness programming for a specific group.

Connected to a Healthcare Community

Elevate is part of Mammoth Hospital, which creates opportunities to connect community wellness with clinical expertise when appropriate.

Some partnerships focus entirely on education, movement, connection, or wellness.

Others may benefit from collaboration with sports medicine, physical therapy, athletic training, medical providers, or other healthcare professionals.

The level of clinical involvement depends on the program, setting, and needs of the community.

Community Wellness & Clinical Care

Elevate partnerships are designed to expand access to wellness, education, movement, and community resources.

They do not replace individualized medical evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, or rehabilitation when clinical care is needed.

When appropriate, Elevate can help participants discover related Mammoth Hospital services and community resources.

Partnerships Continue to Grow

Not every collaboration needs its own partnership page.

Elevate also works with community organizations, events, local experts, nonprofits, and other partners through specific programs and shared initiatives.

As relationships grow, some may develop into deeper evergreen partnerships featured here.

Community Partnership FAQs

Who does Elevate partner with?

Elevate works with a range of organizations, including schools, employers, sports teams, clubs, adaptive recreation programs, community organizations, events, and other local partners.

What kinds of programs can Elevate provide through a partnership?

Depending on the organization and setting, partnerships may include movement programming, wellness education, workshops, screenings, performance support, recovery, special events, community engagement, or connection to other resources.

Not every service is appropriate for every setting.

Does a partnership have to take place at Elevate?

No. Many partnerships bring programming directly to schools, workplaces, team locations, events, or other community settings.

Other programs may take place at Elevate or use a combination of locations.

Can a small organization partner with Elevate?

Potentially. Partnerships are considered based on community need, program fit, available resources, staffing, timing, and alignment with Elevate's mission.

Organizations of different sizes are welcome to start a conversation.

Does Elevate only work with organizations that already have a formal program idea?

No. A partner may come to Elevate with a specific idea or simply a community need they would like to explore.

The partnership process can help determine whether there is a useful and realistic way to collaborate.

Are all Community Partnerships medical programs?

No. Many Elevate partnerships focus on wellness, movement, education, performance, recovery, or community connection.

Healthcare professionals or Mammoth Hospital clinical services may be involved when appropriate, but community programming does not automatically become medical care.

Why do some partners have their own page while others do not?

Dedicated pages are generally used for substantial, recurring, or strategic partnerships with enough ongoing activity to be useful to the community.

Elevate also works with many community collaborators through individual events, workshops, and initiatives that may not require a separate page.

How can my organization start a conversation with Elevate?

Contact Elevate and tell us a little about your organization, the community you serve, and what you would like to explore.

Starting a conversation does not commit either organization to a program or partnership.
