The Wellness Collaborative (TWC), founded by three Black women – an internist, a pediatrician, and a psychologist – is a wellness educational nonprofit located in Roxbury MA that provides an innovative solution to eliminating health care disparities. We provide education, insight, and best practices that promote sustainable personal and community health, wellness, and resilience.TWC is unique because of our interdisciplinary framework, ethnocultural focus and our strengths approach to the social determinants of health. Rather than using the typical labeling of social and environmental issues as “determinants”, we frame them as “influencers” which means they do influence but are not fixed or fated determinants of our health.TWC seeks to solve the problem of health disparities by addressing these social influencers of health through a people-centric, community and partnership model to co-create collections, programs and support collaborative solutions.​TWC's innovative approach strategically links people, programs, practice and policies that engage BIPOC communities and leaders. We convene and curate programs by incorporating our signature 7 Disciplines of Wellness©.
