Transforming Healthcare for Families and Communities
Voice Up Publishing Incorporated is on a mission to transform how families support a healthier way for a better life. Guided by our vision of connecting people to their purpose, we are establishing a subsidiary organization to reimagine healthcare for children, adolescents, teens, and young adults.
This initiative will be deeply connected to a Bible-based network of churches and non-profits focused on creating a positive social impact.
This initiative will also maximize the national undergraduate and graduate student internship model of Voice Up currently on over 100 colleges and universities.
This model will begin borrowing key principles of Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) in Phase 1, expanding to important principles of Federally Qualified Health Clinics (FQHCs) in Phase 2, and culminating with a teaching hospital connected to a revolutionary digital university.
This is a social venture designed to empower the most underserved communities while also creating a very high-value asset which provides each local community the ability to invest equity and ownership stake within the subsidiary corporation.This creates a win-win opportunity for local governments while also fully wrapping in exceptional training and development focuses on proactive strategies for developing Bible-based practices related to health, exercise, financial literacy, the creative arts, and culturally welcoming medical care.
This university will focus on training a new workforce of mental and behavioral health professionals, including physicians, physician assistants, certified peers, community health workers, medical doctors, psychiatrists, family nurse practitioners, and nurses, along with additional support staff.
This initiative emphasizes breaking down barriers to health-related information by providing easy-to-understand, culturally sensitive communication tailored for diverse communities. It will prioritize recruiting healthcare professionals deeply connected to a Bible-based foundation and mission.
