Wellness Center
Hours of Operation: Monday-Friday, 9:00-4:00
The Wellness Center provides holistic care, education, and physical and mental health enhancement programs to improve the health and well-being of N Street Village clients. The holistic wellness approach empowers women to participate fully in their own healing and to nurture emotional and spiritual, as well as, physical needs. Read about the healing power of one of our Wellness Center classes: "At District's N Street Village, a chance for women to knit a lifeline to others" by Petula Dvorak (The Washington Post, 8/17/10).
The Wellness Center provides health screening and referrals to our “on-site” Unity Health Care physician, as well as assistance coordinating referrals for medical insurance, eye and/or dental care.
Client-centered care includes multiple on-site activities and educational services through ongoing partnerships with area community providers. Among the services offered are nursing consultations, massage, HIV testing and prevention, acupuncture, yoga and yoga nidra (iRest), health education, exercise classes, psychotherapy, dance, arts and crafts, and creative writing.
