We have developed community wellness initiatives to address the social determinants of health and promote wellness in local communities. Through partnerships with community organizations, we offer various wellness programs, including nutrition education, physical activity initiatives, mental health support, and preventive screenings. These initiatives are designed to empower individuals to make healthier choices, leading to overall well-being and long-term health benefits.
