St. Leonard Votes to become a Vital Life Community!

On Jan 12^th 2010 the residents and staff of St. Leonard voted to become a Vital Life community and the Board of Trustees has also made this commitment by adding this process to our short and long-range strategic planning. This is exciting for all of us because together we will provide the St. Leonard community the tools necessary for developing a meaningful personal program for wellness. Bill Witte, CEO of Vital Nation informs us that this is important because “it’s about realizing the ultimate potential you have residing within your genome identity” Moreover, Witte states that “as such, your optimal wellness potential is unique to you and is like no other.”

There are defined steps in this certification process which will also hold us accountable to our best practices concerning wellness program development. We will be holding monthly meetings for updates and dissemination of new knowledge and learning concerning this process and we invite you to come and contribute. Our first step is the social walking program that everyone is so excited about and just in case you are unaware, we are walking to Disneyland in California, and we have provided many possibilities for participation. If walking or wheeling is in your wellness program please join us as your miles will help St. Leonard motivate those who are on the journey, and yourself as you join us in the fun and function model of our social walking program.
