At Aslan Health, we believe that true healing and lasting well-being go beyond just treating physical symptoms. This belief is rooted in our commitment to Whole Person Care, a comprehensive approach that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit. To guide our efforts, we embrace the Model of Healthy Living, which highlights the interconnectedness of seven key areas: Faith Life, Work Life, Movement, Nutrition, Friends & Family, Emotional Health, and Medical Care. Together, these elements create a framework for health and resilience that addresses every facet of an individual’s life.
Why Whole Person Care Matters
Whole Person Care recognizes that health is multi-dimensional. While physical well-being is essential, it’s only one piece of the puzzle. Emotional health, spiritual fulfillment, and supportive relationships also play critical roles in creating a life that thrives. When these areas are neglected, the effects often spill over into physical health, creating cycles of stress, illness, and diminished quality of life.
At Aslan Health, we strive to break these cycles by looking at the bigger picture. For us, every patient encounter is an opportunity to address not just symptoms but root causes, helping patients achieve sustainable health and well-being.
The Seven Dimensions of the Model of Healthy Living
1. Faith Life
A strong spiritual foundation can provide purpose, hope, and peace, even in the face of challenges. At Aslan Health, we encourage patients to explore their spiritual journey and connect with a supportive faith community, believing that faith plays a vital role in healing and overall well-being.
2. Work Life
A balanced work life contributes to self-esteem, financial stability, and mental clarity. We help patients address workplace stressors and strive for harmony between professional responsibilities and personal priorities.
3. Movement
Regular physical activity is not just about fitness—it enhances mood, energy levels, and even cognitive function. Whether it’s a walk around the block or a structured exercise program, we encourage movement tailored to each patient’s abilities and preferences.
4. Nutrition
Food is fuel, but it’s also a pathway to health. Access to healthy, affordable nutrition is critical for preventing chronic conditions and improving overall vitality. We work with patients to create practical nutrition plans that fit their lifestyles.
5. Friends & Family
Strong relationships offer a sense of belonging, emotional support, and accountability. Recognizing the impact of social connections, we encourage patients to cultivate and strengthen bonds with loved ones.
6. Emotional Health
Emotional well-being is the cornerstone of resilience. We address mental health by providing resources, referrals, and a listening ear, helping patients navigate challenges and build emotional stability.
7. Medical Care
Access to compassionate, evidence-based medical care is fundamental. Our team offers preventive, acute, and chronic care services while educating patients about their health and empowering them to take an active role in their care.
The Lasting Impact of Whole Person Care
When patients experience Whole Person Care, the results are profound. By addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs together, we help individuals achieve lasting well-being that extends far beyond a single appointment. This holistic approach also fosters self-empowerment, equipping patients with tools and resources to make meaningful changes in their lives.
One powerful example is our work with a young boy who needed life-saving insulin but lacked access to care. Through our efforts, we not only provided a 90-day supply of insulin but also connected his family with programs for ongoing support. By addressing both immediate needs and long-term solutions, we demonstrated the life-changing potential of Whole Person Care.
Embracing Whole Person Care Together
At Aslan Health, we see every patient as a unique individual created by God, deserving of dignity and compassion. By incorporating the Model of Healthy Living, we aim to be a beacon of hope and healing in our community. Together, we can build healthier lives—body, mind, and spirit—for lasting well-being.
