St. Vincent’s House INVITES YOU TO

“COME BE WELL WITH US”

The WelCare Initiative is an intentional invitation to our community to enhance
its well-being individually and collectively.  A community based program, the
WelCare Initiative at St. Vincent’s House is a comprehensive and innoventive*
approach to health that promotes and enhances one’s desire for good health outcomes
while providing outreach services that support and assist in the discovery and
reduction of disease-risk behaviors. It begins with an environment of Welcome. 
The term welcome itself becomes the invitation as an acronym meaning,
Come be well with us... The journey of welcome or well-being begins as you
enter our doors.

The WelCare Initiative combines primary care [body], wellness education [mind]
and healing awareness [spirit] as a means to invite individuals in our community
to conceptualize their wellness in a real way; to challenge the standard one
dimensional healthcare paradigm!

 WelCare = Primary Care [Body] + Wellness Education [Mind]
+ Healing Awareness [Spirit]

The WelCare Initiative is a holistic approach to beginning a community’s healing
process; helping the community become whole, well, healthy. Healthy people
make healthy communities; thus, our action plan: 
 

If you feel good….you might do good.

* Innovention:  n, The act or process that combines innovation, inventiveness and
