Wellbeing Hubs
Building fit for purpose primary care facilities in support of our vision for primary care and community service
Wellbeing Hubs are the Health Board’s vision for the future of Primary Care in Cardiff and the Vale.
They will help deliver new pathways and models to promote physical, mental and social wellbeing in partnership with local authorities and the third sector.
Promoting prevention and wellness, Wellbeing Hubs allow local access to services and are community developed and led, to nurture a strong community spirit. They are a welcoming environment to all that embeds the values of collaboration, caring and respect.
