Vita offers a collaborative approach to wellness. This approach empowers your health care team to eliminate redundancy and embrace integrative wellness. Vita connects cardiologists to registered dietitians and exercise physiologists. It's where you can gather the best expertise from many disciplines and develop a plan for a healthier life. Vita puts practical tools at your fingertips and gives you a guide teaching you how to use each and every one.
 
Although you can experience Vita on an a la carte basis, we strongly recommend becoming a member. We have three membership levels: Platinum, Gold and Silver. Each one gives you access to health coaching and provides you and your family with a customized plan for great health.

Here's how it works: 

Stage 1: Evaluation
As a member of Vita your journey starts by meeting one of our health coaches. They will guide you through the first step toward a healthier life: a health risk assessment. This tool gives you and your health coach a foundation for developing a plan for better health. As a Platinum Vita Member, you also receive a full-day, comprehensive physical examination by Henry Ford experts.

During this evaluation, your heart, respiration, blood pressure, cholesterol and other blood screenings as well as your physical fitness are measured in a comprehensive medical environment - giving you an accurate assessment of your medical condition. If necessary, follow-up appointments at Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital can be coordinated through your Health coach.

Stage 2: Your Wellness Plan
After your initial evaluation and testing, your health coach can assist you in developing a comprehensive plan for achieving your wellness goals. These may be simple at first. Lowering cholesterol. Increasing physical fitness. Improving your diet. Your coach has access to every program within Vita and all the medical expertise of Henry Ford Health System to create a personalized plan that fits your busy lifestyle.
 
Along your journey checkpoints will be established so your coach can evaluate your progress or adjust the plan to better fit your goals. No matter which path you choose, your health coach is available whenever you need assistance, direction or motivation - creating an accountability partner to help you achieve optimal health.

Stage 3: Transformation
The classes, facilities and expertise of Vita have been designed to guide you on a new path to better health. Each week you'll be challenged to try new, organic foods to keep you well. (We'll even teach you how to create healthy cuisine at home.) Your wellness plan also will direct you to integrative therapies to help you alleviate stress and feel better. Classes for fitness, relaxation, weekly support groups and healthy cooking also can be integrated into your plan. In our Main Street area, you will have access to discounted sleep aids, the best nutritional supplements as well as products that can sustain your new commitment to health.
 
Your transformation to a healthier life may not happen overnight, but it will set you on the path to wellness for the rest of your life. 

We invite you to experience Vita for yourself and find the path to a life lived well. For more information, call (248) 325-3870.
