Philosophy
The overall philosophy of our corporation can best be explained by the meaning of our corporate logo. The three circles in the Circles of Care logo represent the blending of a sound mind, a healthy body and a loving heart — the essentials of a full and satisfying life.
The top circle, which is balanced securely on the other two, represents the blessing of a sound mind. The lower circles are intertwined, representing the interdependence of physical and emotional health. A heart rests within the triad and symbolizes the caring, understanding and dedication that nurture health and wholeness in human beings of all ages and cultures.
