Gainesville, Fla., Nov. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)'s Whole Health System in the North Florida/South Georgia region revolutionizes the way healthcare is delivered to our nation's Veterans. This free, innovative approach places Veterans at the center of their own care, focusing on personalized, proactive, and patient-driven plans.
Health & Wellness Coaches (formerly Whole Health Coaches) work with Veterans to create their personalized plans that integrate self-care and complementary therapies such as acupuncture, meditation, yoga, and massage therapy with conventional medical care. Coaches facilitate 30-60 minute sessions, available virtually or in-person, to guide Veterans in managing their health plans effectively.
"Whole Health is not just healthcare, it's a transformative approach to living better," said Laurie Reisman, Whole Health Clinical Director. "We are committed to providing Veterans with resources that enhance not only their physical health but also their spiritual, mental and emotional well-being. This system allows Veterans to take charge of their health in a way that's meaningful to them."
Coaching is available at the following locations: Gainesville, Lake City, Middleburg, Jacksonville, Saint Augustine, Marianna, Ocala, Palatka, Perry, Tallahassee, St. Marys, The Villages, Valdosta, and Waycross.
Veterans in the North Florida/South Georgia area are encouraged to explore the wide range of services available through the Whole Health System. Veterans interested in these services can easily access them by contacting their Primary Care scheduler to arrange an appointment with a Health & Wellness Coach.
