Who We Are
We are a dedicated group of people who believe strongly in the promotion of health. We understand the importance of the Social Determinants of Health. Some of us are Wellness Pracitioners while others simply benefit from these practices and enjoy learning about ways to improve health and wellbeing. Some focus on creating, organizing and contributing to programs and events, which Members of the Co-op may lead or participate in through partnerships with other organizations.
