Organization History

Integrated Community Holistic Care (ICHCare, Inc.) was founded in June 2024 by Susan Mutua Wilson, Philiph Masila Mutisya, and Angela K. Mbalu. The organization was inspired by the founders' collective experiences and passion for addressing challenges in healthcare services provision to all populations. The experiences defined the challenges that have been endemic in healthcare in terms of services to the global communities in society. These challenges include illiteracy in healthcare education, inequities in access to healthcare services for both underprivileged and privileged populations, and lack of culturally responsive preventive healthcare preparedness.

The organization aims to provide holistic, service-driven support to mitigate healthcare disparities and improve the well-being of marginalized communities by engaging consultants, licensed and certified professionals, and service experts to provide services. The focus is on the whole person, addressing not just physical health but also mental, emotional, and social well-being. The holistic approach ensures that individuals receive the comprehensive care they need to thrive in all aspects of their lives. By promoting collaboration and leveraging the strengths of diverse organizations, ICHCare strives to create sustainable improvements in the quality of life for those it serves.

ICHCare's focus is to give back to the community through raising health awareness and literacy education for people to learn how to leverage the services available for them. Healthcare literacy and awareness provides an ability for access to healthcare as a human right, and civic education literacy empowers them to develop agencies for their advocacy. Recognizing that many individuals seek services only at critical stages of disease due to the lack of early detection and intervention, we aim to address the root causes and effects, such as illiteracy and poverty, which contribute to this delayed approach. We are also committed to providing literacy programs to empower individuals to become aware of available resources and create solutions for early intervention. ICHCare's purposeful intent is to provide integrated holistic healthcare as a service to all populations.

As a service focus organization, we address physical, mental, spiritual health, and social well-being. ICHCare commits to engaging communities to collaborate and partner with community groups and organizations that share similar values and purposes. The synergy approach among various groups enhances a collective capacity to serve and positively impact individuals in communities.

As a nonprofit organization, ICHCare leverages the US diverse populations and global resources, and opportunities at local, national, and international communities. The main purpose is to raise funds and resources to facilitate funding to support an endowment to develop and implement projects, programs, and services designed to engage communities. Through comprehensive literacy, healthcare, and community empowerment initiatives, we aim to create a self-sustaining community by fostering awareness, reducing dependencies, and promoting holistic health.
