Global Healthy Living Foundation

Welcome to the Global Healthy Living Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization working to improve the quality of life for people with chronic diseases such as arthritis, hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, sickle cell disease, depression, psoriasis, cancer and COPD/asthma.

We focus on patients and caregivers and healthcare professionals.

Our in-person patient events, educational videos, and Web site environments are always culturally and ethnically sensitive, including in-language programs for Hispanic, East Asian and Russian participants, as well as ethnically and culturally harmonious faculty for African-American, Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender (GLBT), and selected religious communities.

Our faculty consists of physicians, psychologists, exercise experts, nutritionists, sports coaches, and moderators who often have the chronic disease that is the focus of the event.

We are able to combine chronic illnesses into men's health, women's health, and other broad categories, allowing participants to learn about more than one condition.

GHLF and U.S. Health Reform

  • After a decade of organizing and executing grassroots patient education programs throughout the United States, we have firsthand experience with the barriers to proper health care.

  • We regularly brief State and Federal elected officials, health legislative aides and committee staff members about the state of U.S. healthcare and the importance of raising compliance rates to an acceptable level.

  • We see a future in which outcomes are the focus -- and medication allows a patient to ultimately remain friends with their chronic illness.

  • At the GHLF, we provide patients with the information they need in order to live a healthier life. If patients take more responsibility for their own health, health care costs overall will decrease. As health care costs decrease, we believe that the health insurance companies will want to provide further incentives to maintain good health.
