Why is a Wellness Center is needed?
A. Our mission “to continually improve the health and quality of life of the people in the communities with serve” is firmly rooted in the concept of the wellness center. Our community-like others throughout the nation-faces an epidemic of preventable diseases that threaten our quality of life. Diabetes, obesity, asthma, hypertension-to name just a few-are increasing despite all our medical advances. We believe we must move from the current system that treats disease to one that promotes healthier lifestyles and wiser personal choices. And, we believe we must do more to help those living with chronic diseases or disabilities to achieve a better quality of life. Our Wellness Center is devoted to that cause.
