Healing involves the whole person

At Scripps Health, we recognize that being healthy is more than just a physical feeling. Wellness is about your body, mind and spirit, and achieving health and balance in each. We believe that an optimal healing environment occurs when patients and medical staff address these three together.

Whole person treatment means better recovery

That’s why we offer specific programs and classes on particular wellness topics, like nutrition and stress management, as well as integrate whole person strategies into our medical services. For example, many of our treatment methods and patient support services include a whole person philosophy aimed at helping patients recover more quickly, and get back to their lives as effectively as possible.

We realize that healing patients is more than just getting them out of the hospital. Effective healing means returning patients to their homes, successfully reintegrated into their lives with family and friends, and into their work and play environments.

Wellness in the community: a positive voice

Wellness is something that people undertake before they get to a medical facility. Scripps Wellness programs are mindful of this, and work in the community to teach and encourage positive, healthy behaviors. Our goal is to help adults and children live healthy lives, and to head off disease or catch it early.

Our wellbeing centers offer everything from cooking classes to yoga, in locations throughout San Diego County. Check our class schedules for resources near you.
