A new year represents a clean slate and a new opportunity for achieving optimal health. This is precisely why it’s the perfect time for UR Medicine Thompson Health to unveil its latest community health initiative.

Welcome to our inaugural issue of Wellness Hub Wire, which is just one aspect of Wellness Hub, a new program designed to help you and your loved ones live life to the fullest.

Our culture is gravitating toward a world in which we are taking greater responsibility for ourhealth. As individuals, we really are in control of so many things that influence whether we’re healthy or not; and through Wellness Hub, Thompson wants to provide even more opportunities for us to learn and grow.

With educational events, health screenings, risk assessments available through our website, or the articles in our customized online newsletters, we have many resources to offer and we’re excited to bring them all together within “The Hub.”

Wellness Hub Wire offers you the latest information when it comes to both men’s and women’s health, fitness, food and more. This, our inaugural issue, includes articles about the importance of early treatment for hernias; a look at the health benefits of grains; and new technology for physical therapy patients with balance issues. And, of course, you can learn more about Wellness Hub — including its benefits and how to sign up.

Along with Thompson’s biannual print magazine, Partners in Health and Wellness, we’ll bring this new digital magazine to you twice a year.

We hope it’s to your liking, just as we hope to see you at Wellness Hub events in the near future.

Here’s to new beginnings!
