Hours of Operation: Monday-Friday, 9:00-4:00
The Wellness Center provides health, mental health and holistic health services, including nursing triage, a twice weekly Dental Clinic and a once-monthly Ophthalmology Clinic, massage, reiki and acupuncture, group and individual counseling services, exercise classes and health education groups. Most of the classes and individual services of the Wellness Center are offered by caring professionals in the community who choose to donate their time and talents.
Any client who has completed an intake appointment with a case manager or is a resident at N Street Village may have access to the Wellness Center. An average of 35 women per week seek medical triage and care from the full-time LPN nurse for concerns and conditions including: diabetes, hepatitis and HIV concerns, hypertension, asthma, gynecological complaints, frostbite and injuries, skin problems, flu, infections and more. Parenting education classes are offered every Thursday evening for women in the community who wish to repair or strengthen relationships with children or grandchildren.
The Wellness Center also sponsors our weekly Community Tea, when all staff and clients of NSV come together on Thursdays at 3:00 for fellowship and socializing. A Craft Room sits adjacent to the Wellness Center and is routinely staffed by volunteers who offer the opportunity for women to participate in structured sewing and art projects and well as to work with the materials independently.
