"Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease." "Wellness is the active process of becoming aware and of making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life [...] a dynamic process of change and growth." -World Health Organization. The Southland Health and Wellness Hour podcast meets at the intersection of health and wellness to discuss healthcare with an eye uniquely focused on South Chicago and its southern suburbs. Together with community members and healthcare experts, we're re-thinking, re-framing, and re-making important conversations about our community healthcare with community wellness as our goal. Community participation is key at the SHWH podcast. Our dialogues are driven by you. To ask questions or share your experiences, send us an email: communitymedia@govst.edu.
