“...I have come that they may live life to the fullest.”
—John 10:10
Y
OU WERE BORN to live life to the fullest through
the CREATION Health lifestyle principles.
God offers abundant life to anyone who wants
to be fully alive today and forevermore. The Greek word
He used for life is “zoe,” which means the absolute fullness
of life—a life that is active, satisfying and filled with joy.
This is why CREATION Health takes a life-transforming
approach to your total wellness—mentally, physically and
spiritually—with the eight universal principles of health.
CREATION Health is God’s plan for living. This well-
ness program is based on biblical principles found in the
Creation story and supported by evidence-based science.
Through CREATION Health you can learn the best prac-
tices of whole-person living—mentally and physically, with
a strong focus on spirituality and faith.
CREATION
Health
God’s plan for your wellness
Each letter in the CREATION acronym will help you
remember one of the eight guiding principles of wellness
and longevity as you embark on the creation of a new you!
C
Choice
is the first step toward improved health
because people who believe they are in control over
their own lives are healthier and live longer.
R
Rest
is both getting enough sleep and taking time to
relax. Relaxation lowers blood pressure and reduces stress.
E
Environment
is our external world but also affects
what happens within us for better or worse.
A
Activity
includes physical and mental conditioning.
Our goal is to be active in mind, body and spirit.
T
Trusting
in God speaks to the relationship between
spirituality and healing. A link exists between faith
and wellness.
I
Interpersonal relationships
strengthen our well-
being. Social connection fortifies our resolve and
improves our health.
O
Outlook
creates our reality. Our mind influences
our body, and our attitude impacts our health.
N
Nutrition
is the fuel that drives the whole sys-
tem. Small improvements and strategic substitutions
produce profound results.

Our goal as a hospital is to extend healing in whatever
way we can. So we have asked our very own experts to
write about health issues that affect all of us in blogs
published to our Facebook page. Veronica Boley,
certified diabetes educator, brings you tips on manag-
ing and preventing diabetes. Kirby Lee, registered
dietitian, shares how to live a full and healthy life
through great nutrition. Our Facebook and Twitter
pages also provide daily health tips, event photos,
videos and hospital news. Find out more
