Now this is a day to celebrate! Today we're celebrating the furry friends who keep us active, make us smile and are always there for us.

Dogs have a special way of supporting our well-being by encouraging us to move more, spend time outdoors and enjoy the little moments and we think that's something worth celebrating!

Now it's your turn! Share a photo of your pup in the comments and tell us their name. We'd love to meet your four-legged family members.

Happy National Dog Day from all of us at TampaWell! 💚🐾

This past Saturday, we welcomed 25 participants to our very first StrongOver50 class. The energy, encouragement and determination were truly inspiring. 👏

Did you know that more than 1 in 4 adults age 65 and older experience a fall each year? Functional strength training, which combines strength, balance and conditioning, can help improve confidence, support independence and reduce fall risk as we age.

A special thank you to Micah Morgan, founder of Strong Over 50, for leading an engaging class and helping participants discover that it's never too late to build strength for life.

Strong Over 50 is offered once a month through TampaWell, giving adults 50+ the opportunity to build strength, improve balance and connect with others in a fun, supportive environment.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our inaugural class! We can't wait to see you next month as we continue empowering our community to age stronger, together.

Join our next class!

We were honored to welcome Blake Casper, Tampa General Hospital Board Member, to TGH HealthPark for an inside look at TampaWell's Food as Medicine initiatives. 🌱

During his visit, Blake toured our Community Garden and Food Pharmacy, where he saw firsthand how these innovative programs are expanding access to nutritious food, supporting individuals with chronic conditions, and helping address food insecurity throughout our community.

By bringing together healthcare, nutrition and community partnerships, TampaWell is helping build a healthier Tampa Bay. One that empowers individuals with the resources they need to thrive. We're proud to continue advancing innovative, community centered solutions that improve health and well being for all. 💚

Consider this your reminder to slow down. 💚

It’s National Relaxation Day, a day that’s been encouraging us to take a break since 1985 when it was created by nine-year-old Sean Moeller with one idea: We shouldn’t spend all our time working.

Taking time to rest isn’t just a treat. Giving your mind and body a chance to recharge can help reduce stress and support your overall well-being.

Need a little inspiration? Try:
📖 Getting lost in a good book
🎶 Putting on your favorite calming playlist
🌿 Taking a quiet walk outside
📵 Stepping away from your phone and screens
🧘 Stretching and breathing deeply

However you choose to unwind, make a little room for rest today. Your to-do list will still be there tomorrow. 😉

How are you relaxing today?
