LAS VEGAS – With the new year comes a renewed focus on health and wellness.
“Well-being is physical health, along with the ability to find a balance in body, mind and spirit,” said Lisa Pacheco, director of the Healthy Living Institute at UMC. “We strive to provide our community with a variety of convenient classes that will help them lead a healthier life. Our programming is diverse and we are continuing to expand our class schedule every month.”
