Healthcare is a Team Sport: Expanding Your View of Well-Being in Hancock County

January 21, 2025

Navigating health and well-being can feel overwhelming. The challenge isn’t a lack of options—it’s knowing where to start and whom to trust. That’s where a holistic approach to health becomes invaluable, addressing physical, mental, and preventative care, to ensure that no part of your health is overlooked.

While it’s a smart choice to see a primary care physician on a regular basis, today’s healthcare is a team effort, focused on whole-person well-being. Beyond checkups, a variety of professionals can work together to deliver holistic care.

Preventive care is foundational, but have you considered how prevention extends to eating, moving, sleeping, managing stress, and nurturing relationships? What teammates could support your health goals? As you develop that network of support, it’s important to think about the other dimensions of care and knowledge you’ll want to access on the road to becoming your healthiest self.

Adding a dietitian, for instance, can transform how you approach nutrition, whether managing a chronic condition, improving performance, or simply building a healthier relationship with food. These services are often covered by medical insurance and provided by licensed professionals.

Exercise is another cornerstone of well-being, yet narrowing down your options can seem daunting. Through Hancock Wellness Centers, primary care providers can prescribe affordable exercise programs to members and non-members alike. The Clinical Exercise Program offers supervised, 60-minute sessions three times weekly for eight weeks—all for just $60. This program changes lives, providing accessible fitness solutions for all experience levels.

Mental health is equally vital. Hancock Health’s Connection Center delivers unparalleled access to behavioral and socio-economic support. Whether navigating substance misuse or other challenges, the center meets individuals where they are, connecting them to the right community of resources.

Hancock County offers a wealth of services and programs that can elevate your well-being. From fitness to mental health to lifestyle medicine, these resources align with your unique goals, dreams, and challenges.
