Community Resources

Helping You Make Healthy Choices

Copley Hospital may be a small hospital, but it is a big part of our community. And as one of the largest year-round employers in the area, we encourage our employees to use these resources.

 

Community Events + Programs

At Copley, community wellness takes many different forms. From birthing classes to flu vaccine clinics, to healthy living workshops, Copley Hospital’s Wellness Center provides a variety of health improvement services to help people of all ages personally manage their health. We work with area businesses to design programs to motivate healthier lifestyles for employees and provide a healthier workforce for employers.

For upcoming events and programs, visit our Classes and Events page.

Wellness Classes + Presentations

We regularly hold classes, demonstrations, workshops, and one-on-one and group coaching sessions. Schools, businesses, and community organizations book us for on-site presentations. Call us and we will be happy to customize a presentation to meet your needs.

Support Groups

Check our calendar of classes and events for ongoing and upcoming support groups.
