Wellness Your nextadventure starts here. To strive is to thrive. Those are words so many residents live by here at Presbyterian Village North. Because they, like we, believe wellness is the intentional pursuit of good health for mind, body, and spirit. Through classes, professionals and programs we help and encourage all residents to engage with life as fully as they can. Which is, we believe, how each of us thrives. “My why is to make a difference in the lives of our residents.

And the only report cards are those you create for yourself. Wellness for Your Soul Spiritual health. A pillar of wellness just like mind and body. Just as we care for ourselves physically and mentally, the soul and spirit need care as well. So we nurture our spirits through silent reflection and prayer, the study and discussion of Scripture, practicing stillness and listening for God, participating in community worship and living our faith by loving and serving others. All in our own fashion in order for ourselves and our communities to thrive. ← Older Posts Newer Posts →
