There’s also an internal mantra at Our Health Co-op that guides how we go about accomplishing that mission:

These two saying epitomize the heart of who we are. Our members, pure and simple, are the reason we are here offering the products we do, in the way we do. Over the years our loyal members:

• have encouraged and supported the Co-op’s efforts
• have made us more deeply aware of their health needs
• have made valuable suggestions that have influenced our product line
• have contributed to the improved functionality of our operation, and
• have invited others to benefit from this collaborative health effort

As part of our commitment to our members’ health, we also focus on generating:

• products that are science-based
• products that have been tried and tested
• products that we ourselves test each and every time we do a new product run.

Our product line doesn’t include the latest fad. In fact, sometimes we pass by the opportunity to cash in on a trend because we’re not sure that it does what it claims to do and we won’t put out a product that we aren’t convinced will work.

As the mantra states, we’re also dedicated to:

• having fun together (and who better than the infamous “kat” to lead that charge)
• generating smiles wherever possible (how many other companies have a Director of Members Services and Smiles), and
• infusing life with as much joy and positive energy as possible.

To gain further insight on the “how” and “why” behind the Co-op’s approach, you may find the following interviews with, Cindy Marteney, our CEO, and Stephen Fason, our COO interesting reading:
