Program Description The Center for Health and Learning
is dedicated to providing opportunities for the individual to learn and grow.
Services focused on health and wellness potentiation include a Health Resource
Center, a Web-based health information support service, support groups for
major medical illnesses, a fully-equipped conference center, and several
programs that facilitate lifestyle change. These programs use an integrative
healthcare model to help clients move toward better lifestyle choices and
achieve greater awareness of the mind-body connection. This integrative model
brings together all the components of a healthy lifestyle: physical, mental,
emotional, and spiritual. We offer numerous services and seminars, including
the following:
-
Health Coach Services

nurse to support the client in meeting their personal health goals. Whether it

the impact of stress, or take prevention and wellness measures, the client and
Health Coach work together to achieve desired outcomes. Our Health Coaches work
within an integrated model of mind-body-spirit and work in collaboration with
the client's primary care provider to ensure continuity and quality of care.
