About the Program
Wellness reflects a healthy balance of the mind-body and spirit that can result in an overall feeling of well-being. The San Francisco VA Medical Center is committed to fostering wellness values and provides opportunities for both staff and veterans to develop a wellness focus.
A wide variety of activities and programs are available to help each of us to use and develop our skills and energy for improved health and well-being. Some of these include:
