The South Health Campus (SHC) is more than a place to treat illness and disease. By inspiring a wellness mindset, we focus on supporting, encouraging and assisting people along their health and wellness journey. The wellness principle is incorporated into SHC services, programs and spaces.
South Health Campus Wellness Strategy includes:
- Providing wellness knowledge and education
- Having accessible and available wellness programs
- Being responsive to the campus and community needs in guiding development and delivery of programs and services
- Promoting an inviting, supportive and friendly environment
Examples of promoting wellness at SHC
- The campus provides a unique healing environment. The building features outdoor views from all patient rooms as well as natural lighting, soft colours and natural finishes. This design reflects our philosophy of health, healing, wellness and balance.
- The campus has a community feel with open spaces, gardens, visual arts and a variety of café-style retail spaces. Research shows that these features lead to faster recoveries, reduced stress, and an enhanced patient and staff experience.
- South Health Campus features a Wellness Centre that includes a YMCA facility, health resource and knowledge centres, interactive and demonstration wellness kitchen, and meeting spaces for wellness programs and events.
