Health begins at home and in the places where families come together, where elders are respected, and where culture is part of daily life. This idea is at the center of our work and guides how we support the community.
We were proud to continue our support by joining Native Rise, an event meant to lift up Indigenous families, culture, and voices. Fourteen of our team members took part
“Health comes from belonging, culture, safety, and the everyday support people have,” said Melonie Simon, Marketing and Events Coordinator for Circle of Life. “When we stand with the community at events like Native Rise, our impact reaches far beyond direct care.”
“We are thankful for the team members who truly care about this work,” Simon added. “Seeing our staff show up for Native Rise with such dedication reminds us why our mission matters and why being present in the community is just as important as the care we give each day.”
Research shows that formal services are only part of long-term well-being. Community connection, cultural identity, and stability form the base of strong health. By supporting Native Rise, we can help build that base so Indigenous families, caregivers, and elders have what they need to stay safe and to thrive.
