A Research and Evaluation Opportunity
We are actively seeking opportunities to partner with academic institutions or research-oriented individuals/organizations to conduct an evaluation of PathWay 2 Wholeness, a unique faith-based health education initiative. We believe this program merits recognition as an evidence-based intervention that improves health status including obesity, diabetes, blood pressure and other key outcomes.
If you’re interested in in learning more about the evaluation strategy and plans for this program and exploring this opportunity, please contact Dale Fletcher though the Contact Page.

Dale’s Philosophy on Whole Person Health
Our spirit, mind and body are inseparable. What we believe, what we think and how we behave affects each component of our life. Greater wholeness can be achieved when we integrate a spirit, mind, and body approach to managing the stress in our lives. Dale Fletcher is particularly fascinated by the connection between one’s physical health and their spiritual health as the research suggests that the more one’s lifestyle lines up with their spiritual beliefs the more whole and healthy that person can be.
