It was hypothesized that integrating all di- mensions of wellness in patient programming would have a positive effect on various defined indicators (e.g., weight, body mass index, blood pressure, and fasting blood sugar and lipid lev- els). Screening tests before, during, and after the 8-month project provided the physical outcome measurements. Social and psychological out- comes were described through observation and group member feedback. The positive results are significant in terms of empowering patients in the long-term management of their health.
