Health facilities are built into apartment complexes and employment centers

California health system offering one-stop 'wellness corners'


California-based St. Joseph Hoag Health's one-stop "Wellness Corners" offers everything from primary care to fitness training in apartment complexes and employment centers, according to an article on the Hospital & Health Networks website.

St. Joseph started began by building such a clinic for its own employees as a way to bust the excuse that it is hard to step away from work, the article said. 

The system has built three of its Wellness Corners in easily accessible locations near employment centers or housing complexes, possibly with more on the way.
