What is a Wellness Moment?

St. Leonard's wellness teams have been providing wellness moments for the residents, staff, visitors and volunteers that stroll through the halls of St. Leonard. Wellness moments come in all forms, and as you stop by the posters, you may experience moments to reminisce, smile, challenge the brain, or you may get to know someone better than before. Being able to redirect the brain's focus away from current problems or work tasks can be incredibly refreshing while building a social context that has a sustained affect on morale, community, and stress reduction.
