One vision.
McKissick Health & Wellness (also referred to as “McKissick Health”) was created by Sierra McKissick in 2016. As a child, Sierra witnessed first hand how a lack of resources and education can affect a community. She pursued an education with the intention of returning to communities, particularly communities of color, to offer much-needed resources and tools to help promote healthy living. Sierra believed that if people had access to care and a practical approach to changing their behaviors and solving conflicts, they would choose a better lifestyle.
After working with churches, nonprofits, and educational institutions for over 12 years, Sierra realized that there was a need for a company with the ability to enter a community, listen to the needs of its members and help them create a plan for moving forward. She then started planning. It wasn't until 2017 that Sierra discovered what has come to be known as McKissick Health & Wellness. McKissick Health is a pastoral care consulting company with a heart for the community. We believe in valuing the stories and experiences of the people we encounter and look for ways to retain the "good" in their life as we devise a plan to move forward in the healing process.
Sierra's mission is to offer exceptional care to individuals and groups while utilizing communal approaches to care that may already be in place within a community. She works diligently to use the latest methodologies and resources. She has curated a talented team of people she's worked with over the years to build a network of care that is intentionally personal and meets the unique needs of each person and community. As McKissick Health & Wellness consulting continues to grow, Sierra hopes to find ways to include more national partners and bring the company’s services to more at-risk communities and educational institutions across the nation and world.
