StrongLife
A Vision of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community: A Healthy Community in Body, Health and Spirit
The greatest thing we can do is to take care of ourselves in order to keep our Community strong. In body, each breath and drink we take, needs to be taken with thought that brings continued resilient health. Eyes see directly through the spirit validating to all that life is to be lived in happiness, emotional stability, mental sharpness, and gratitude.
The Council, as in past Councils, have been concerned about the health and wellness of all our community members. We have seen different physical and mental illnesses that has apparently damaged ourselves or family members. In order for SRPMIC to continue strong, we must prioritize our own health at all levels. With that commitment, the Council has graciously funded and organized a wellness program for the community called StrongLife.
A Family Wellness Program
A time for change in Mind, Body, and Spirit for us all including children, adults, and senior community members…a time to focus on a StrongLife and strong families.
Developed specifically for the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community Members and their immediate family ages 5 years and up. Non-enrolled immediate family members may also participate however, all participants must reside within the same household as the community member.
How Does StrongLife work?
Participants earn points through 5 wellness theme activities. Each theme is worth 100 points with the exception of physical wellness which is worth 150 points due to more opportunities to participate actively. Strong Life participants earn points with a cash value of up to $550 per calendar year for working activities in each theme.
The 5 Themes
- Physical Wellness – Ability to see fitness and nutrition as a core to quality of life of self and posterity. A focus to live light and in joy = 150 points
- Family Wellness – Ability to enhance the quality of daily togetherness, gratitude for each other, acceptance = 100 points

Note: If you participate in Wellpath, you must choose between Wellpath or StrongLife for each activity you report. You cannot claim credit for activities in both programs to cause double dipping.
You can check out a 20 minute orientation video on the StrongLife Facebook page.
The StrongLife Wellness program’s success relies on Community Members maintaining integrity and recognizing the generosity of SRPMIC by being honest to themselves and the community.
