our partnership
with Health by Design
The Fire and Police Retiree Health and Wellness Fund partners with Health by Design. Members of The Fund and their families have access to 3 specialized wellness centers staffed by Health by Design professionals. These wellness centers are conveniently located on the North Central side off Paesanos Parkway, on the Southeast side near Brooks City Base and now, in the Westover Hills area.
Health by Design offers patients a customized health care experience that focuses on the mind, body and soul. This is called Well+Being™ Care. In every life Health by Design touches, they seek to produce a healthy body, sound mind, and hope-filled spirit that inspires the patient to live a healthier, more rewarding life.
This transformative health care experience includes more time with doctor’s and staff, an individualized health plan tailored to each patient’s needs, an executive Well+Being Exam™ to assess overall well-being and more.
