One of the most important things you can do to improve your overall health and wellbeing is to embrace the power of education. Learning about proven strategies, philosophies, and best practices will empower you to make positive, meaningful, and most importantly, lasting changes to your lifestyle.
This special series, presented in collaboration between the Winter Park Health Foundation and AdventHealth, is designed to give you the tools you need to get started on this journey. Throughout this seven-week series of workshops, you’ll learn the latest in healthy living research from those studying it deeply – AdventHealth University Community Health Nursing students.
Each week, the NURS440 students, in collaboration with their instructors, these future leaders in health care will present the latest information on health-related topics, organized under the umbrella of the renowned CREATION Health principles. Each session will also kick off with useful screenings, such as blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, etc.

On October 20, we’ll focus on: Trust
Believing in a higher power, whatever name you give that being, brings peace during tough times and gives hope for the future.
There are many benefits of trusting in this power. Research shows that our faith, beliefs and hopes can play an important role in our health. Georgetown University Medical School professor Dale Matthews and his colleagues have shown that religious involvement helps people avoid illness, recover from it more quickly and most remarkably, live longer. The more spiritually committed we are, the greater the benefit.
Several medical studies have touted the benefits of prayer and healing. Faith creates an observable resiliency in human beings. The medical community has a growing interest in the role that faith and prayer play in our overall well-being.
In this session, learn how trust and faith, no matter what, if any religion you practice, can have measurable effects on your health and wellbeing.
