Promoting Community Resources that Help Make Joplin Happier & Healthier
It’s much easier to build better habits and take on new perspectives when we have a support system to help guide us. That’s why connecting people to resources that empower Joplin’s overall wellness—physically, mentally and socially—is a key component of our mission.
One Joplin has identified five areas of wellness that are most prominently affecting our community today:
HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
Diet and exercise are crucial for maintaining healthy body weight, mental well-being and reducing the individual risk for heart disease, stroke and any other illnesses.
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
Improving and maintaining positive mental health is essential to overall wellbeing—and it all starts with having a safe place to call home.
WORKPLACE WELLNESS
On average more than one-third of our day is spent at work. Worksite wellness programs can help lower employers’ direct costs and extend beyond the walls of the worksite.
VISION & DENTAL RESOURCES
Visual and oral health resources are vital aspects of wellness on an individual level—and in turn, the overall health of the Joplin community.
FAMILY & CHILDREN RESOURCES
