Health and Wellness Directory
The World Health Organization says "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity".
While the term "wellness" is often used in the fields of holistic medicine and alternative healing, in the allopathic (traditional western) medical community health and wellness programs may include flu shots, disease management, smoking cessation programs, nutrition programs, ergonomic assessments, healthy pregnancy programs, nurse support services, community education, public health awareness, employee assistant programs and work life balance programs.
Wellness centers may also include physical fitness and training facilities, cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation centers, spas and physical and massage therapy practices.
