The Canyon Ranch Institute Life Enhancement Program (CRI LEP) transfers the best practices of Canyon Ranch to underserved communities to prevent, diagnose, and address chronic diseases through an integrative health literacy approach that educates, inspires, and empowers patients and communities to embrace a life of wellness. Each CRI LEP is conducted in partnership with a local health care organization.
All CRI LEPs share a common set of core foundational and program elements and principles, yet CRI works with local partners to collaboratively customize the CRI LEP in a manner that is culturally relevant to each community.
The CRI LEP core program elements are designed to ensure that each partnership remains true to our integrative approach to health and wellness. Each CRI LEP is grounded in the same program philosophy, yet tailors the approach to identifying and communicating health and wellness topics to the specific context and needs of each community.
