“Our people have carried both wisdom and wounds across generations. By weaving together cultural teachings, lived experience, and modern health practices, we can reclaim the fullness of health.”
— Founder, Dr. Melissa McGee, DNP, FNP

 

Anishinaabeg Path to Wellness (APTW) is dedicated to improving access to holistic, culturally grounded healthcare across Illinois, Wisconsin, and North Dakota.  We blend Indigenous teachings—such as the Medicine Wheel and the Seven Grandfather Teachings—with evidence-based clinical care to promote balance of body, mind, spirit, and emotion.

​

Mission Statement:

Our mission is to create moments of healing by providing healthcare interventions that align with and respect the cultural beliefs, practices, and values of individuals and communities.

​

Vision Statement:

We envision vibrant Indigenous and multicultural communities where health is viewed as sacred balance of body, mind, emotion, and spirit and where every individual walks their own path to wellness with dignity, cultural pride, and support.

 

Holistic Healing Approach:
 

The Medicine Wheel: Guiding Our Care At APTW, we embrace the Medicine Wheel as a symbol of holistic wellness and balance. It reminds us that health is not only physical—it is emotional, spiritual, and mental.
