The Tennessee Valley Healthcare System is on this list of flagship VA sites for Whole Health. In Murfreesboro, one of the programs available is Adaptive Wheelchair Tai Chi, which happens at 10 AM on Thursdays at the Alvin C. York campus.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs released the names of 18 facilities designated VA Whole Health Flagship Sites, which are spread around the country within the VA health-care system and are focused on empowering and equipping Veterans to take charge of their health and well-being.
As VA shifts from a health-care system focused primarily on treating disease to one guided by a personalized health plan that considers the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and environmental needs of Veterans, the Whole Health System acknowledges that health care involves more than the physical human body.
"VA's Whole Health approach helps Veterans live their lives to the fullest," said VA Acting Secretary Robert Wilkie. "By developing a personal health plan that integrates many areas of their lives, Veterans can truly take charge of their well being and improve their health all around. I'm pleased to recognize these VA facilities that are helping our Veterans do just that."
