Maintaining our weight and keeping our blood pressure and cholesterol under control are important for our health. However, a healthy life extends beyond physical wellness and encompasses many aspects of wellbeing, such as purpose-driven living, stress management, sleep and mental and emotional health.

At Lee Health, our Healthy Life Center team aims to inspire, motivate and encourage wellness and wellbeing through a variety of educational programs, events and services. This year, during World Wellbeing Week (June 24-28), the Healthy Life Center team is hosting a two-day symposium with classes focused on enhancing your wellbeing. I am proud of the commitment of this dedicated team and excited to extend an invitation for these inspiring and empowering classes, which will be held at the home of the Healthy Life Center: Lee Health Coconut Point (23450 Via Coconut Point, Estero).

Day one of the World Wellbeing Week Symposium will be held Monday, June 24, and includes:

  • Outdoor Gentle Yoga Flow – 9 a.m.

  • Meditation for Wellbeing – 11:15-11:45 a.m.

  • Lunch & Learn – Unbreakable Hearts: Building Resilience and Heart Health – noon-1 p.m.

  • Cooking Demo: Plant-based Nutrition – 1:15-2 p.m.

Day two of the World Wellbeing Week Symposium will be held on Friday, June 28, and includes:

  • Kindness Rocks – 10:30-11:30 a.m.

  • Lunch & Longevity: Building Physical and Mental Resiliency for Wellbeing featuring Malissa Wood, M.D., FACC, chief physician executive, Lee Health Heart Institute – noon-1 p.m.

The Healthy Life Center team is also planning to host classes at WellWay Cape Coral (609 SE 13th Court, Cape Coral), including:

  • Be Mindful of Your Nutritional Wellbeing, 10-11 a.m., Thursday, June 27

  • Gratitude Workshop, 10-11 a.m., Friday, June 28

Our Healthy Life Center team is here year-round to help you navigate health services and chart a path to a healthier lifestyle. World Wellbeing Week, and these special classes, are a great opportunity to connect with others and invest in your health and wellbeing.
