Programs and Initiatives for Holisitc Health
Holistic Wellness is a multi-faceted approach to life that considers the whole person and the connection of body, mind, and spirit. The physical, spiritual, social, emotional, cultural, intellectual, financial, and environmental dimensions of wellness are emphasized as interdependent. Holistic health is an ongoing process. No matter what your current state of health, you can make small everyday choices to improve your level of well-being.
