My Nonprofit Reviews

The Wellness Institute of Greater Buffalo and Western New York, Inc. was founded in 1989 by Philip L. Haberstro. It will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2014.
The work of the Wellness Institute is health promotion - individual, social and community health.
1. The institute works closely with the Buffalo Public Schools on student health issues and was instrumental in developing the District Wellness Policy
2. Works with various community partners, such as Wegmans, whose "eat well live well" Challenge is a very effective, proven and low cost workforce wellness program
3. Sponsors various wellness programs/events for older adults, and is currently spearheading a major falls prevention initiative in the City of Buffalo
4. In all of its activities, the Institute stresses the importance of good health habits, and focuses on wellness rather than sickness. Physical activity is strongly promoted, especially in light of the obesity epidemic among both adults and children in the United States.
