Promoting Wellness

Why Wellness?


We define wellness as having the best health possible by keeping your mental, physical, social and spiritual well-being strong. To help improve quality of life for patients, staff and communities, the South Health Campus will focus on promoting wellness as much as treating illness.


The Wellness Services Building will be a key area within the South Health Campus for patients, staff and nearby residents. A partnership between Alberta Health Services and YMCA Calgary will promote life balance through a variety of programs and education events. A Community Resource Centre will provide access to health information and a way to learn more about other wellness partners in the community. There will also be a demonstration kitchen where local chefs, nutritionists and farmers can inspire more interest in cooking, healthy eating and food within a social setting. Other wellness services will support personal growth and stress control, such as meditation, yoga, music and creative therapies.


The South Health Campus will also use wellness concepts in physical design, retail areas and patient care. For example, there will be quiet spaces and inside and outside gardens to improve healing and create a stronger sense of well-being on the site.
