The Whole Health Committee of Los Altos United Methodist Church
has planned a "Whole Health Year" (WHY!) for the entire church in
order for members to become healthier in every dimension of their
lives.

The mission:  WHY! is a program to promote respect for the whole
person, as created by God, and to improve balance and harmony in
body, mind and spirit as reflected by daily work, play and
relationships.

The goal of the program is for member-participants to achieve the
following objectives:

• Understand that the broad definition of health includes not
  only physical health, but also spiritual health, emotional
  health, and relational health
  
• Appreciate that spiritual health is the core of every other
  dimension of "whole" health
  
• Discover
  

• Interrelationships of the four types of health
  
• Where you stand in these four types (strengths and
  weaknesses)
  
• Methods for continued growth
  

• Identify goal(s) and achieve success
  
• Interact with others about whole health
