Founders’ Reflections
“My life’s work has always been about service — to Yahuah, to family, and to the people. Heritage Wellness Institute is simply the continuation of that calling: to build something lasting that honors those who have given so much and to restore the dignity of those who’ve lost hope.”
— Christopher D. Adams Sr.
Chief Executive Director (Founding Steward, Trustee)“Through years of serving in the social work field, I’ve seen both the brokenness and the beauty of humanity. My heart beats for restoration — to create safe spaces where people can heal, grow, and thrive. Heritage Wellness Institute is that space, and it’s an honor to serve within it.”
