Healing the Body, Healing the Soul

Wellness Works welcomes ser-vice men and women, active duty and veterans, family members and close friends. We are com-mitted to relieving the lingering stress and suffering that military duty often brings to families.

Wellness Works current pro-gram “Welcome Home Veter-ans” continues a long history of service. From its beginning in 1986, the center at 540 West Broadway with its warm home environment has welcomed peo-ple with health concerns offering the much needed emotional, mental and spiritual support to

go along with physical care.

We invite you to come by and visit us, call and make an appointment, or check out our website for more details. If we believe we can help you, we will recommend our services.

As for fees, Wellness Works has never turned anyone away for lack of donation. Through the years, we have grappled with this question of fees and healing and how to determine that cost. As we move forward with our mission of service the Biblical wisdom, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,” feels to be a true guide for each of us to decide how important is my healing to me. With that treasure given by each of us, we believe Wellness Works will continue to be a place for our hearts to find home.

“We are honored to work with veterans and their families. I believe our clini-cal services are successful because of the spirited collaboration among our gifted healers and the willingness of veterans and their families to embrace their lives as healing journeys.”
