Our Purpose
Creating Community Wellness Society, The Wellness Charity, exists to support the charitable (no cost to the person receiving the services) work of the Victoria Health Co-operative and other community organizations that provide wellness education, and wellness, health and medical care services to the public. Learn more about our work with the Co-op here.
We are particularly interested in work that enhances wellness education and promotes health. Our programs focus on individual self-management of their own health, community-based health, the integrative approach to wellness and health care, and outreach to vulnerable individuals and groups.
