Uptick: Government & Public Wellness Program
Scale prevention. Transform lives. Strengthen national resilience.
Celebrate Health Uptick is a proven public health intervention that empowers governments—at the city, state, or national level—to reduce the burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). This three-month program equips citizens with practical, life-changing tools while giving government leaders measurable impact reports on improved health, reduced costs, and stronger community resilience.
“I have lost about 15kgs, normalized by blood sugar levels and my joint pains have disappeared …”
– Dr. Celsius Waterberg, Minister Of Health, Suriname
“SAAF CAMP is a valued stakeholder in saving lives in Suriname and we hope to share these NCD prevention methods with the world …” – Winston Lackin, Minister Of Foreign Affairs, Suriname
Our work has been recognized globally, including by the United Nations, and has been featured across multiple media platforms. The Celebrate Health methodology has improved health outcomes for thousands of participants across diverse regions, from urban centers in New York City to national programs in Suriname.

Program Overview
Uptick is a structured, three-month NCD prevention and reversal initiative designed for scale. Governments can enroll citizens directly through ministries of health, social services, public works, or employee wellness divisions. Each cohort receives structured workshops, coaching, and reporting that link individual success to population-wide outcomes.
Approach
Our methodology combines evidence-based education, lifestyle coaching, and ongoing accountability. Each participant completes entry and exit surveys, attends weekly workshops, and tracks their health improvements. Governments receive aggregated reports with outcomes measured against benchmarks such as weight management, blood pressure, glucose control, and quality-of-life improvements.
Why It Matters
NCDs—including diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and obesity—are the leading causes of death worldwide, accounting for 74% of all global mortality. In the U.S. alone, chronic disease consumes over 90% of annual healthcare spending. For governments, this means budget strain, workforce instability, and rising disability burdens. Uptick offers a prevention-first solution that lowers costs, increases citizen productivity, and reduces long-term healthcare dependency.
