The Franciscan Center is a wellness center that was designed to support and reflect the eight dimensions of wellness for populations 55 and over. The dimensions of wellness pivotal for this environment are nutritional, environmental, physical, social, emotional, spiritual, occupational and intellectual. This formula for supporting the entire wellness spectrum is successful as it is cast in an atmosphere of excitement for living and living well. The campus of St. Leonard was recently awarded certification as a Vital Life Community, which is a new wellness initiative that is based on the concept that the fun and function stage of life can be expanded throughout the life course. The Vital Life Community is a purpose-driven community that filters all positive aspects of the dimensions of wellness through a social construct. This assembly of initiatives and focus on socialization results in theory turned into practice as motivated teams and groups seek well-being together. In addition, every program at The Franciscan Center and throughout the campus is designed with research-based curriculum and skilled facilitators that help every individual within the team achieve their optimal wellness.
