Awakened Alternatives Enterprises, Inc. (AAE) works to achieve optimal health outcomes, by integrating the physical, mental, spiritual, and community aspects of a patient's life. This philosophy has resulted in excellent patient satisfaction and a phenomenal increase in the number of patients seeking our services.

Many times our employees helped customers understand their benefits and matched them with healthcare providers and other community organizations that could provide them with the services they needed.

Awakened Alternatives Enterprises, Inc. was founded more than 10 years ago by a registered nurse with 25 years of experience in the delivery of health care. Because of her sense of compassion, knowledge and expertise in the industry, AAE has grown rapidly under her leadership.
