Gateway's Wellness Philosophy

Wellness is not just about being free from illness; it’s about making choices that lead to a healthy, fulfilling life.

 

Wellness is different for everyone, and each person’s journey is unique.

 

Everyone deserves access to the resources and support they need to make positive changes. 

Gateway’s culture of wellness:

  • Is rooted in written policy and full agency buy in.

  • Fosters healthy connections with self and others.

  • Develops programs around staff, patient, and community wellness.

  • Removes barriers that stand in the way of peoples’ progress.

  • Increases awareness, education, and support around the 9 Dimensions of Wellness

Beating the clock No time to stop Worthiness hangs in the balance. Doing it better Being the best Rising to every challenge. ​ Expectations set high No supports could sustain Get it together, be better. A sharp razor's edge That cutes from within The inhabitant continues to suffer. ​ Overworked and underpaid In need of some relief Yet we take on more To even the score Of our"not good enough" belief. We continue on As we've always done Full tilkt in all directions. Killing ourselves Going nowhere fast Disconnect from our intentions. ​ We vent our troubles Again and again Wipe the tears and pull it together. Fretting inside With each passing day We'll be trapped in this condition forever. ​ Despite all of our efforts We take a turn for the worst Unable to fulfill the demands. Our extreme ways to coping Leave us thirsty for more As we present with empty hands.
