Love Grows Here Wellness Center Now Open
September 2011
Community partners join together to bring wellness to East. St Paul!
On September 14, 2011 the doors opened for our fourth year as the Love Grows Here Wellness center in Dayton’s Bluff. The Center is located at 463 Maria Ave on Thursday Evenings 4:30pm-7:30pm. The mission of the center is Creating Community Being Possibility, Acceptance and Wellness brought forth. The center is a collaborative of three community partners: First Lutheran Church, Metropolitan State University and Dayton’ Bluff Seniors. The services offered but not limited to are:
- Blood Pressure Clinic
- Healing Touch Therapy/ Reki Healings
- Chronic Disease Support
- Health Education
- Nutritional Education
- Medical triage and referrals
- Foot Care
- Community Supper
The intention of the Center is to support community folks who might not be able to afford these services and to train future community health care providers. In these times of uninsured and under-insured we would like to offer a community wellness model to transition to a stable life from a life of being homeless and vulnerable. We welcome volunteers to assist with set up, clean up, meal preparation, and sign up table. Make a difference in the world contact Allie @ First Lutheran 651-776-7210. Come and see what the Love Grows Here Wellness Center is all about. We see Health as a right not a privilege.
