2021 Year In Review
2021 was a year of forward-thinking planning and progress for KnoWEwell on multiple fronts—technology, partnerships, content, marketing, volunteerism.
We soft-launched with a custom KnoWEwell.com marketing website, global community, and marketplace. Individuals join directly for Regenerative Whole HealthTM (RWH) benefits to find peace of mind and today’s trusted RWH knowledge, resources, and ecosystem collaborating to inspire and empower them to proactively prevent harm, address the root causes of chronic disease, and achieve WELLthier LivingTM. Practitioners join and are vetted so they can then be found in our trusted directories and recognized for their unique healing arts and expertise through multimedia publishing and amplification.
Our focus during 2021 was building quality educational programs and mission-aligned collaborative partnerships, implementing phase two of our technology roadmap, and surveying our stakeholders to optimize their experiences. We have used the feedback from each of our constituent groups to make enhancements, and we are releasing exciting content and engagement programs in 2022 to best serve our members.
KnoWEwell's key accomplishments in 2021 include:
- Tom O’Bryan, DC, CDN, DACBN, joined as KnoWEwell’s first Chief Health Officer.
- KnoWEwell’s Founder and CEO was honored as a Top 100 Visionary in Healthcare.
- KnoWEwell employees and their families spent a glorious crisp fall day volunteering to help make Rodale Institute’s (a collaborative partner) "Fall on the Farm" event a roaring success.
- Dr. Tom O'Byran and Madiha Saeed, MD, KnoWEwell’s Director of Education, along with Jane Lynn Britton, KnoWEwell’s Director of People Experiences, created over 50 educational programs with experts.
