OUR STORY

In 2015, Wider Circle set out to find a better way to help Americans thrive at any age. For some, that means easier access to transportation to get where we need to go. For others, it’s doing what we love while making new connections. Or maybe we have a health issue and need support from someone who’s been there. Through rigorous testing and research, our team learned that the most effective approach to enabling better health and independence is to integrate support and services at the community level, making it easier for neighbors to take the best care of each other.

Today, Wider Circle is proud to bring its unique neighborhood care programs to more than 320 communities in 5 different languages.

Join us as we build connections for better health in communities across the country.
