The Plan
A group of community members with a passion for a wellness center in Seward was identified during the Active People Healthy Seward Summit and formed a committee. Working with city officials, they researched, planned, met, and developed the concept to get the project to where it is today, with renderings, funding commitments from state and local government, and more than $7 Million in gifts and donations from Seward County residents.
The Vision
To provide local health and wellness opportunities for the entire county. We offer a facility to promote an active lifestyle and contribute to the health and well-being of all ages.
Seward Wellness Center is dedicated to help the community achieve a healthy and balanced lifestyle. We will provide a fun and supportive environment filled with options that promote healthy living principles in an educational and caring way executed with a positive attitude.
