The Making Of
The Next Chapter of Wellness at Tia
How do we make wellness core to whole-person care?
But first what does wellness mean at Tia? At Tia, wellness is healthcare and healthcare is wellness. So we’re constantly working to create new tools and services (like Always-On acupuncture!) to help bridge the gap between scientific and medical research and keep you well.
At Tia wellness = healthcare
Our goal is to help you get well, which is not simply the absence of disease. It’s about prevention which starts by helping you to better understand your body and be an active participant in your health. Take a look at how we used that goal to

The Making Of: the future of wellness at Tia
What’s next for wellness at Tia? Right now, our focus is on making our medical services more oriented around wellness, so we’re preventing sickness, not just treating it. Our goal is to help you understand the signs of your body, and coach you through what to do with those signs, whether through acupuncture, a personalized nutrition program, or groups. To that end, we’re continuing to evolve current services and create new offerings to meet your ever-changing physical, emotional, and social needs. That’s where you come in! We see the future of wellness at Tia as a collaborative process; defined by us, for us. Head to #TheMakingOf Wellness Quiz to help us get started and stay tuned for a virtual brainstorm that will define exactly what we make, together.
