Wellness Programs
The purpose of our Wellness Services is to improve the overall health and wellbeing of our employees and residents in the communities we serve. We accomplish this through our various wellness programs, community events, and health screenings. Our services are designed to encourage, inspire and challenge individuals to live life to the fullest. From balancing your diet to managing your daily exercise routine, CaroMont’s Wellness team can help.

Customized Wellness Program
CaroMont Health Wellness staff will assess the health of community members and develop health initiatives aimed at promoting better individual health based on identified health risks. Examples of these initiatives are a 6 to 8 week wellness program with health screen pre and post program.
Weight Loss & Nutrition Counseling
Eating nutritious foods, regular exercise, and maintaining a health weight are vital components to one’s physical health. Carrying around excess weight can cause people to feel self-conscious and depressed, greatly reducing their quality of life. Excess weight may also increase one’s risk of cancer, congestive heart failure and diabetes. Our services are provided by registered dietitians and exercise specialists.

Health Screenings
CaroMont Health offers health screenings that include:
1. A health risk appraisal called Personal Wellness Profile,
2. Basic Biometrics (height, weight, blood pressure, waist circumferences, and
3. Cholesterol mechanics to get triglycerides and blood glucose panels. Screenings provide beneficial information about one’s general health and results may be shared with your primary care physician.
If you would like to discuss your result onsite at each screen evaluation confidentially, health and wellness coaches are available. It is important to remember that while screenings provide a good health overview, individuals still need to monitor their own body and schedule regular exams with their primary care physicians. Check our Events Calendar to see upcoming screenings. (Add link to events calendar)
