The genesis of what would become Care3 originated in the mid 1980s. Karen N. Williams, M.A., Ed.D. was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer, given only six months to live by doctors.

Six months later, not only had Dr. Williams survived, but the medical doctors could not locate the tumor on scan. Dr. Williams not only outlived the original 6-month prognosis, she lived 27 more YEARS. Medical Doctors called it a miracle–but that was only because they hadn’t seen what she did in those six months.

In fact, what happened in those six months sparked what we now call “The Care3 Method.”

Today, The Care3 Method has helped thousands of people–families and individuals– overcome the so-called limitations of life-changing conditions when there is no cure, proven treatment, device, or procedure to address them.

Our Story

We believe that your situation is unique and should be treated that way. What may be true for others is not true for you.

The Care3 Method introduces a three-step approach to overcoming disease limitations and even improving financial well-being–personalized for your situation. This multidisciplinary method, rooted in a blend of lived experiences, clinical expertise, data science, economic modeling, and academic rigor, empowers individuals to overcome daily struggles with disease and frustration with the healthcare system.

Since those days in the 1980s, many people have contributed to the evolution of what has become The Care3 Method. Each person has brought a new aspect to improve the method to standardize the approach while perfecting the personalization. The schools and degrees attained by these contributors include some of the finest institutions in the US and the world.

University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, Stanford University, Northwestern University, University of California at Berkeley, University of California, Los Angeles, University of California, San Francisco, and more.

The degrees and certifications earned from these institutions have refined the multi-disciplinary approach to The Care3 Method.

The core of the process involves documenting personal experiences to gather information and identify triggers, followed by taking deliberate actions to cultivate positive behaviors and avoid negative influences. Ultimately, the program emphasizes self-determination, persistence, and encourages positive engagement with health professionals armed with newfound insights while conferring the financial benefits from improved health.
