Urban Zen Grows at WHV
Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, more patients and families than ever will have the opportunity to experience the healing and calming influence of Urban Zen Integrative Therapy.
In January, Wexner Heritage Village became the first clinical setting outside of the UCLA Health Systems and New York City's Beth Israel Medical Center to offer patients the revolutionary therapy that combines yoga, reiki massage, breathing techniques and aroma therapy to reduce pain, anxiety, nausea, insomnia and constipation.
Starting this month, five additional WHV staff members from across the organization will take part in an intensive training program to become certified Urban Zen practitioners.

While all of our associates truly appreciate these very generous gestures, gifts to individual staff members are appropriately prohibited by the regulations that govern our operations. However, for those who are moved to recognize the performance of the WHV team, several years ago we established the WHV Associate Fund. Learn more |
