Message from the CEO

F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote "Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall." There is something invigorating in the notion, that while lost in lingering summer nostalgia and preparing for the inevitable winter chill, we can look on the bright side and begin fresh. At OWC we aim to assist our valued patients, whether embarking on a new beginning or maintaining their progress, achieve the optimal wellness that is an integral part of realizing their health goals. An open and honest dialogue can be essential when following a treatment plan. We encourage all patients to discuss their treatment plan with their provider as needed.  The comfort, well-being, and progress of our patients are of utmost importance to all OWC healthcare professionals.

As noted in our last edition, OWC has committed to ensuring that the patient experience meets and exceeds their expectations. We are always looking for new and exciting ways to offer additional service and value to our patients.

As always I offer my sincere wishes to you and yours for a relaxing, healthy, and happy fall and winter.

Attention, Behaviour, Food, and Environment: Helping Children Thrive

In many ways, September is the beginning of the year for families with growing children.  While most parents look forward to seeing their children go back to school, some children find the transition to a more structured school environment difficult.  Behaviours may become a problem: kids may act up, question homework, earlier bedtimes, and morning routines.

For these families, the start of school year can bring meltdowns, moody, and/or anxious behaviours from their kids...  Read More

Does it mean working fewer hours than you spend with your family? Does it mean that you work hard at the beginning of your career in order to balance the leisure time you want to have at the end of your career? Is it prioritizing career versus everyday life? Is it balancing the multiple areas of your life? 

In reality, it is all of these things.
So, how in the delicately balanced work/life world do you achieve even a modicum of equilibrium? Work/life balance is about finding a career that aligns with your core values. Finding work that is in balance with the interests and activities that energize you - THAT'S work/life balance. When you can Integrate your personal philosophy with your work philosophy. Finding work that you are happy to wake up for and reluctant to leave at the end of the day. Work that supports your family and that your family supports.  Work. Life. Balance ... Read More

Keys to Optimal Health and Vitality
