wellness connection
ADVOCACY, EDUCATION, AND RESOURCE CONNECTION
“ …I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10b
mission of WCI
Community Wellness should be considered a spiritual and public health issue, not just a social issue of concern to those who suffer from specific illnesses or serve in healthcare industries. The “wellness” of a community effects all members and the ability of the community to thrive. Wellness is directly related to wholeness. Jesus healed many, but to those who expressed Faith, He extended His Grace to make them "Whole." Our Wellness includes our Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual and our Social health. Healing must take place in all areas of our Health to make us whole
