Physical Health
Nursing
Health is the foundation of a fulfilling life, impacting our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Nursing plays a vital role in maintaining and improving health by providing compassionate care, education, and support to patients. Nurses are crucial in diagnosing, treating, and preventing illnesses, ensuring people receive the best possible care. Their expertise and dedication help communities stay healthier and recover faster, making nursing an essential part of any healthcare system.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy is essential for helping individuals regain or develop the skills needed for daily living and working. It focuses on promoting independence and improving quality of life for people with physical, mental, or developmental challenges. By addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of recovery, occupational therapy plays a critical role in supporting individuals’ overall well-being and enabling them to lead fulfilling lives.

Emotional Health
Counseling
Counseling is past focused with a desire to understand our narratives and relationships and how these impact the current and future self. A counselor is a trained professional in a therapeutic process who can help an individual explore and manage personal issues which can range from mental health concerns to emotional difficulties or challenges. A counselor may offer advice or expertise.
Spiritual Direction
Spiritual direction is present focused on what God is doing right now in your life. A spiritual director is a trained listener who will accompany you as you share about your spiritual journey, helping you to notice God’s presence and activity along the way, as well as your personal reactions and responses. A spiritual director offers hospital space with gentle questions.
Coaching
Coaching is focused on the present and future. The past is explored only as it offers you greater awareness for what is hindering you to move toward your current desires. A coach is a partner in your journey toward self-discovery and awareness, supporting you as you implement change or act upon a desired goal. A coach does not offer advice but gives support, encouragement, and accountability toward the change you desire.
