Our Story

We exist to reduce loneliness, strengthen marriages, support ASD families, promote health literacy, equip pastors, serve seniors, empower youth, and build community resilience.

Our Relationship With ZODU Group
ZODU Care is completely separate from ZODU Group, the clinical healthcare system.
ZODU Care

ZODU Group
clinical, licensed medical and mental-health services.
The two are legally separate — separate boards, finances, and branding. If participants request clinical care, ZODU Care uses a patient-choice protocol, offering several licensed providers and letting the individual decide.
