RVIHC Wellness Center

Vision

Our vision for Round Valley is a safe, productive and positive environment that promotes health, well-being and positive relationships within families, which can then extend to relationships with the community at large.

As a newly established program the RVIHC Wellness Center strives to provide resource and referral services to the community. As we grow and become more involved in the Round Valley community, we will partner with local individuals and organizations in order to facilitate and provide new innovative ways to meet the needs of our local families. We are excited about future opportunities to become a part of the daily life of our community, bringing people together in ways that strengthen individuals, families and the community at large.

Services and Community Partners

At the Wellness Center it is our goal to connect families to the resources and referral services that fit their unique needs. We find the community organization that provides services and connect them with families.  In an effort to serve as many people as possible, we work in conjunction with other organizations in the Round Valley community that are offering valuable services to families.
