Wellness and Prevention

Wellness, or being in good health, goes hand-in-hand with prevention, which is about taking action to help prevent an illness or injury.

Wellness is not only a commitment you make to your body’s health, but also to your mind and spirit. To support you in this commitment, PeaceHealth offers a range of free and fee-based wellness programs, services, resources and community outreach opportunities.
