Today is World Mental Health Day! And this year’s theme is “Mental Health at Work” so we're highlighting our team at Adventist Health White Memorial, where Wellnest offers the Integrated Service Management Program: Mind, Body, and Heart. This program combines support for mental and physical health through a holistic model of care. It allows participants to access comprehensive healthcare services in one location, often on the same day. Participants can also take advantage of “non-traditional” wellness offerings, such as yoga, stress relief, art classes, and cooking sessions. Wellnest employees understand that a healthy state of well-being should address the whole person, including both the body and mind!
