At DWArticulated, my mission is to empower organizations to create meaningful change in their communities. With over 30 years of experience in public health, I focus on strategies that enhance the well-being of those most in need.

In this climate of increasing health and social service needs – and competition for funding - it is vital for organizations to have a clear vision for how they want to provide a long-lasting impact to their communities with programs that have proven effectiveness.

Organizations that formulate a strategic direction for their program offerings with a supportive infrastructure are more likely to succeed in making a lasting impact to their communities they serve, and are more likely to succeed in receiving grant from public and private funders to support successful programs activities.

DWArticulated guides those organizations in enacting their strategic direction to make a tangible and measurable difference as they work to positively impact their communities' health and well-being.
