What is a Wellness Hub?

A Wellness Hub is a place that offers whole-person health. People can come to the Hub to have their diabetes tested, attend a LIP (Lifestyle Intervention Program), do exercise, or participate in another community event such as healthy cooking demonstrations. The Wellness Hub will offer community connections.

The aim of the Wellness Hubs is to positively impact the community by taking them on a journey to achieve whole-person health. This would be achieved through the 7 Dimensions of Wellness.
