Community Wellness

Introduction

The Community Wellness Initiative is about encouraging individuals and families to be and stay healthy. Healthy Lifestyles are kept by promoting physical activity, healthy eating, and positive relationships within families, and time .

Taking care of yourselves and your environment will in turn make the entire community a healthier place to live, work, and play.

We are playing a pivotal role in helping communities empower themselves with the Community Wellness program. Community Wellness is a process-oriented program that encompasses community-based program planning; facilitates interventions based on an assessment of community-specific health needs; encourages empowerment of the community; and develops a community-wide support system. Our team members serve as catalysts to bring together members of the community to identify health needs, develop strategies to solve problems, and implement programs.

Through proactive community health education and an ongoing effort to increase access to free or low-cost screenings, wellness gurukul s helping to save lives by building awareness of the signs and symptoms of disease and by promoting early detection and treatment.
