Health and Wellness Programs
Mayo Clinic Health System strives to improve the quality of life, health and well-being of the community.
Because life is busy, and individuals and families are at different spots on their wellness journey, we offer a variety of free, self-guided programs that can improve different aspects of your health and wellness. Feel free to share these programs with friends, family, teachers and other youth leaders.
These programs are available:
