The VA Butler Healthcare system plans to celebrate Whole Health Month during the month of April through classes, events and resources for veterans and their loved ones.

Veterans are encouraged to attend events coming up in April, such as the Whole Health Expo 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on April 13, the Exploring Whole Health Class from 1 to 2 p.m. on April 19 and a Diabetes Education Class from 4 to 7 p.m. on April 20.

“April’s Whole Health month highlights the importance of putting the person in the center of their health care, recognizing, and honoring each person’s culture, values and vision for their lives,” said Karen Justi, Butler VA’s whole health program manager said. “Many factors can influence us as unique health care consumers and as employees; including gender, culture, language preferences and other factors.”
