The idea for the Wellness Series was sparked by inquiries from clients who were looking for support for health related issues. “Arrow Benefits Group is excited to launch this Wellness Series and we’re especially honored to have St. Joseph Health partner with us,” says Andrew McNeil, Principal at Arrow Benefits Group. “We started this program because we’re interested in supporting the community and we’ve planned numerous trainings throughout the year with both St. Joseph and several other industry experts.” In May, Arrow will welcome Whole Foods Market Healthy Eating Specialist, Sharon Bowen, who will discuss nutrition and the Four Pillars of Health. The entire series began with CPR training and certification with the Petaluma Health Care District which continues throughout 2015.
