Joy Well­ness Center

Well­ness pro­grams have bene­fi­ted peo­ple repor­ting a variety of con­di­tions and concerns:

• Stress – inc­lu­ding work, school, family, finan­cial, ill­ness, aging, grief, uncer­tainty about the future and fee­ling “out of control”.
• Medi­cal Con­di­tions – inc­lu­ding chro­nic ill­ness or pain, high blood pres­sure, fibrom­yal­gia, can­cer, heart disease, asthma, GI stress, skin disor­ders and many other conditions.
• Psycho­lo­gi­cal dis­tress – inc­lu­ding anxiety, panic, depres­sion, fati­gue and sleep disturbances.
• Pre­ven­tion and Well­ness – inc­lu­ding health enhan­ce­ment and well­ness focu­sed on Pre­ven­tion and lear­ning the “how” of taking good care of your­self and fee­ling a grea­ter sense of balance.

At Joy Well­ness Cen­ter (JWC), we offer pro­gram­ming in four areas to res­pond to these needs: Movement Edu­ca­tion, Hea­ling Arts, Stress Reduc­tion, and Nutri­tion Education. Classes inc­lude yoga, mindfulness-based stress reduc­tion, breathing, nutri­tion, wal­king, smo­king ces­sa­tion, mas­sage, medi­ta­tion, acu­punc­ture, and reflexology. All pro­grams and the­ra­pies are desig­ned spe­ci­fi­cally to create trans­for­ma­tive, healthy, life-affirming chan­ges in the lives of our patients.

Tawanna Kane is the Joy Well­ness Cen­ter Coordinator. Like all Shepherd’s Cli­nic pro­gram­ming, sug­ges­ted dona­tions for JWC ser­vi­ces are based on a patient’s hourly wage.
