The Wellness Education Foundation is the direct result of the particular efforts of renowned sports chiropractor Dr. David E. Wade.
Dr. Wade realized that the future direction of healthcare must be changed toward a prevention and wellness focus. In 1989, he chartered the Wellness Education Foundation, instituting prevention and education workshops for the public. Training of health care providers began in 1990 with continuing education seminars.
As a non-profit organization, The Wellness Education Foundation is required to be, and remain, independent. To that end, Dr. Wade made available expanded membership to health professionals who indicated a willingness to volunteer their time to assist in surveying, screening and speaking in the public.
