Wellness Programs
At the Vulcan County Health & Wellness Foundation, we believe that true health goes beyond hospital walls. Wellness programming is an essential part of building a strong, resilient rural community. We support innovative approaches that care for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—by investing in education and prevention alongside clinical care. From dementia care information sessions that empower families, to online safety education that protects our children and youth, to accessible activities like chair yoga that encourage movement and connection, these programs help people stay well, informed, and supported close to home. By strengthening wellness services, we are proactively nurturing a healthier Vulcan County—because every dollar invested in prevention and education creates lasting impact in our community.
Together with Wellspring Alberta, we are here to support you.
The Vulcan County Health & Wellness Foundation is proud to partner with Wellspring Alberta to provide our Vulcan County residents seamless access to online programming through this Vulcan Hub to support those in our community whose lives have been impacted by Cancer. wellspringalberta.ca
Community Learning Strengthens Compassionate Care
March 9, 2026, members of our community gathered for a meaningful learning opportunity focused on understanding and supporting palliative care. We extend our sincere thanks to Nicole Porquet-Seitz, MN, BN, RN, CHPCN (C), Clinical Nurse Specialist – Palliative Care Consult Service, for sharing her knowledge, experience, and compassionate perspective with those who attended.
Nicole’s presentation helped deepen our understanding of palliative care—what it means, how it supports patients and families, and why early conversations and education are so important. Opportunities like this help build confidence within our community to approach serious illness with greater awareness, empathy, and support.
We are also grateful to the community members who took the time to attend and engage in this important discussion. Your interest and willingness to learn strengthens the network of care that surrounds individuals and families in Vulcan County. And many thanks to the Vulcan UCW (United Church Women) for the wonderful lunch.
With the continued support of our community and partners, we are proud to help bring educational opportunities like this to our County, ensuring that residents have access not only to services but also to the knowledge that helps us care for one another with dignity and compassion.
Together, we continue building a stronger, more informed, and more caring community.
