Engagement is the primary indicator of success for the Cultural Wellness Center. People enter the Center through many avenues: classes and workshops, events, specific initiatives, Maps to Wellness, support groups, and tours. But once people have come a few times, they understand that all these activities are means to their own journey to health, of which they are in charge. Health happens because the space and the activities open up the person. When the person is opened, they are educated and prepared to take ownership of their health. Engagement of the patient, family, and community provides the missing link in the health improvement chain of strategies of the Cultural Wellness Center.
