 Services (GHS) will open a new door to health promotion, disease prevention 
 and client empowerment with the launch of the Wellness Center at GLIDE in 
 August 2011.  The Wellness Center will build on the GHS nurse-managed model 
 of holistic primary care to offer “hands on” classes in better eating 
 (and cooking!), physical movement, stress reduction and improving 
 relationships at work and with intimate partners.  Clients will learn to 
 “live well” with chronic diseases--such as diabetes, depression and 
 chronic pain--through group and peer activities that will both educate and 
 support them to sustain positive choices in diet and lifestyle.  Glide’s 
 popular recovery groups for clients with substance abuse issues will be 
 expanded to include acupuncture, as well as smoking cessation and 
 gender-specific groups on violence.  The Wellness Center will also have 
 expanded TB surveillance and immunization services.\n\nThe Wellness Center 
 at GLIDE is made possible through a grant from the Federal Bureau of Health 
 Professions.\n\nFor additional information about the program, please call
