What is the BridgeIT Movement?
The BridgeIT Movement is the bridge between holistic health and traditional insurance in order to “Put Your Health in Your Hands”. It starts with the individual using holistic and traditional methods to keep yourself and your family healthy. The Movement ends with an insurance company owned by the consumers that focuses on wellness and prevention using Integrative Medicine or Integrative Techniques (IT).
Even before all of the happenings of 2020, our nation has been in a major health care crisis, with rising healthcare cost and reduced outcomes and life expectancy. U.S. health care spending grew 4.6 percent in 2018, reaching $4.1 trillion or $11,172 per person. But the United States is rated 37th compared to other countries. In other words, we have spent trillions and we are sicker than ever. The CDC gives us the Top 10 Chronic Diseases in America.
We believe there is a better way by using holistic health and traditional health to reduce costs and improve outcomes. We want to change things and put healthcare back into your hands. This website is designed to reach out and begin to connect the consumers, holistic providers, and community organizations that want to see a change in healthcare too.
CONSUMERS
Are you a consumer of Integrative Medicine? We have gotten used to the idea that our healthcare decisions are made by our employers and insurance companies. Part of the BridgeIT Movement is to increase awareness for the consumers and hear your concerns. Please take a minute to fill out the survey and tell us what you think. Until we can build a community wellness health plan, we wanted to mobilize your concerns, which is why we started Consumers4Wellness.org.
PROVIDERS
For the Holistic Practitioners, we want to promote you on our social media sites and share your skills and information as public education on ways to stay healthy. Are we on the right track?

INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE ORGANIZATIONS
For those of you who are in the healthcare industry or holistic health organizations, we want you to partner with us to create a community wellness health plan. Please click on “Partner with Us“.
BridgeIT is a business plan that was developed to build a bridge between traditional insurance and holistic methods. Once fully established, we will put the responsibility and control of health back in the hands of each and every participating individual. Our business plan will reduce health care costs while making the provider accountable for the quality of services provided. It will stimulate the economy while creating a consciousness shift towards advocating for our own health. It will educate the community about local resources to focus on health maintenance and prevention. It will gather research and data to support holistic methods and promote them to other insurance and medical providers.
We conducted a poll asking participants about joining a membership program to make holistic health methods more affordable and here is what they had to say.
To complete this goal and start providing Americans with better access to holistic healthcare, we need your help. Right now, we are gathering data to support our idea, so when we find the right community partners, we represent the changes you want to see. If you want to help us write letters to Federal Representatives, insurance companies, and medical schools and tell them what changes you want to see, then join our association, Consumers4Wellness.org, and help us create a lobby of change! i

I would love to put my health in my own hands. I have no choice of which hospital I choose to go to. I have to get permission from my insurance company to get therapy my doctor recommended. I could go in and on. I agree we need to put insurance into hands of the people. I want to Bridge It!!!!
