Agenda

Wellness is more than merely physical health, nutrition, or exercise. Wellness is the integration of states of physical and mental well-being.

Wellness has a long and rich history, gaining momentum in the last sixty years.

Wellness is benefiting significantly from improvements in technology and the research of behavioral science.
