About Our Foundation
Dedicated to empowering communities through comprehensive wellness programs and compassionate care.
Meet The Founders
Visionaries committed to bridging the gap in community healthcare.
Founders' Message
"When we started Empowered Wellness Foundation, our vision was simple yet ambitious: to create a world where quality healthcare and wellness resources are not a privilege, but a fundamental right accessible to all."
"We've seen firsthand the disparities that exist in our healthcare system. Too often, preventative care and mental health support are out of reach for the communities that need them most. We founded this organization to bridge that gap to bring compassionate, holistic care directly to the people."
"Our journey has been one of incredible growth and learning. Every life we touch, every family we support, reinforces our commitment to this mission. We are deeply grateful for the trust our community places in us and for the tireless support of our partners and volunteers. Together, we are building a healthier, stronger future for everyone."
Our Story
We are Drs. Jaime McBride and Michael Bush-Arnold, physicians, parents, and committed advocates for healthier, stronger communities.
Our story began in medical school, where a shared passion for medicine and service brought us together. Today, Jaime is a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician and Michael is a board-certified Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation physician and together, we are building something greater than either of us could have imagined alone.
Outside the hospital, we are raising two incredible daughters and living out a calling rooted in faith, family, and service here in Ohio. The Empowered Wellness Foundation is the natural extension of that calling, a way to bring the care we provide every day into the communities where it is needed most.
We created EWF because we believe health is a right, not a privilege. Through community education, mental health support, and direct outreach, we are working to ensure every family in our community, regardless of circumstance, has real access to the tools and resources they need to thrive and feel empowered.
We are grateful you are here and honored to walk alongside you in bringing hope, healing, and empowerment to the communities we serve.
