Knowledge about health comes from many sources: The Quaich Inc. appreciates research, traditions, and intuitive knowing as sources of evidence. The company assists with the transfer and uptake of knowledge by selecting processes and tools that make existing knowledge useful and assists in the generation of new knowledge for creating healthier, more compassionate communities.
