Give Back to Move Forward
At Launch, we're on a mission to make quality physical therapy and fitness coaching accessible to underserved populations throughout the greater Washington DC area.
We've actively sought partnerships with local non-profits since January 2022, with our inaugural partnership focusing on LaunchCARES PT and LaunchCARES FIT services.
Your support, whether through one-time or recurring donations, helps us change lives by expanding access to our physical therapy and fitness coaching offerings.
Why Broadening Access to Wellness Services Matters
At Launch, we firmly believe in extending access to physical therapy and wellness services to underserved populations. Access to quality healthcare, including physical therapy and wellness programs, is a fundamental right for all.
We seek to empower individuals, families, and communities to take charge of their health journey. By offering these services to underserved communities, we equip people with the tools to manage their health proactively, preventing the progression of chronic conditions and ultimately reducing the strain on our healthcare system.
But our mission extends even further. It's about creating a sense of belonging, a shared journey toward better health and well-being. It's about boosting self-confidence, nurturing positive self-images, and strengthening the bonds of our community.
At Launch, broadening access to physical therapy and wellness services is not just a matter of equity; it's a testament to our commitment to building a healthier, more compassionate, and vibrant community where everyone can thrive.
