What does it look like when healthcare goes beyond treating illness and begins investing in the well-being of an entire community?

In this episode of ThriveIN, Christine sits down with Lori Augustus, Executive Director of Southeast Operations, and Kari Adams, Practice Administrator of Bowen Health, to explore the organization's remarkable journey—from its beginnings in the 1960s to its bold vision for the future.

The conversation highlights how Bowen Health has evolved into a truly integrated healthcare provider, bringing together mental, emotional, physical, and dental health services under one mission of caring for the whole person. But their impact doesn't stop inside the clinic walls. From cultivating fresh produce in community gardens to creating innovative partnerships that

strengthen neighborhoods, Bowen Health is redefining what community health can look like.

Join us for a conversation filled with inspiration, innovation, and optimism as Lori and Kari share how Bowen Health is wrapping itself around the communities it serves—one person, one family, and one partnership at a time.

This episode is bright, bold, and full of hope, offering an inspiring look at what's possible when healthcare becomes a catalyst for healthier, stronger communities.
