Our Mission

Inspired by its founder, Dr. Elda Yleana Arce, the Foundation continues her belief that science and empathy belong together.

Yleana championed innovation that serves humanity - uniting modern research with traditional wisdom to address public health needs and inequities. Her legacy lives on in every effort to prevent disease, promote wellness, and bring healing to underserved communities.

Dr. Arce proved them wrong by leading with compassion, intellect and vision, and we strive to do the same.
