Wellness Nurse Services is a specialized program offered through Blended Case Management for individuals living with a serious mental health diagnosis and a chronic medical condition. The program supports whole-person care by helping individuals better understand and manage their physical health as part of their recovery journey.
Services include primary care coordination, health and wellness education, individualized consultation, and support with setting and reaching personal health goals. The Wellness Nurse works collaboratively with individuals and their care teams to remove barriers, strengthen self-management skills, and promote healthier lifestyles.
We believe wellness is a key part of recovery — empowering each person to live a self-directed life and work toward their fullest potential.
