The new Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital in Michigan, US has launched with the inclusion of an innovative complementary wellness facility called Vita.

The 8,000sq ft (743.2sq m) facility has been created primarily to serve patients, their families and the community and combines wellness and preventative care.

Providing a model for affecting positive change in healthcare, Vita - which is named after the Latin word for life - contains programmes created for sustained wellness. All integrative therapies, programmes and classes have undergone a rigorous review by a committee comprising Henry Ford physicians, scientists, nurses and other healthcare professionals, to ensure that the experience within Vita is both safe and suited to patients' needs.

Creative Spa Concepts consulted on Vita, and was responsible for shaping its individual services - including health coaches, acupuncture, TCM and beauty therapies for cancer sufferers as well as all group classes and activities. Details: henryfordwestbloomfield.com
