The American Holistic Health Association (AHHA)

About:
The American Holistic Health Association (AHHA) is the leading national resource connecting people with vital solutions for reaching a higher level of wellness. We want you to enjoy an enhanced quality of life with vitality, enthusiasm, confidence and self-worth.

Creating wellness is an ongoing process. Wherever you are on this path, AHHA (pronounced ah-ha) assists you to become more informed about the many options available in the healthcare arena today. Then, you can explore those that feel appropriate for you and your situation.

Mission Statement:
The American Holistic Health Association (AHHA) is dedicated to promoting the holistic principle of honoring the whole person (mind, body, and spirit) and encouraging people to actively participate in their own health and healthcare. AHHA compiles wellness resources and shares these as a free, impartial public service.

History:
With only an idea and no funds, Suzan and Michael established the American Holistic Health Association within two months of that stormy September day. They outlined AHHA’s mission, goals and organizational structure, set up a line of credit (backed by Suzan’s personal assets), founded the first Board of Directors with educators and healthcare professionals, and officially incorporated AHHA November 28, 1989. Their first educational piece was published in the spring of 1990. This newsletter, AhHa!, focused on self-help and holistic concepts. An issue from the following year won top honors in the prestigious Newsletter Clearinghouse national competition in 1992.

Future:
The AHHA Vision For America is people choosing healthy lifestyles that create vibrant wellness and an enhanced quality of life. Until this vision is universally realized, AHHA will continue to provide a wide variety of wellness resources that empower the general public to more confidently and effectively make their personal healthcare decisions.
