Campion Health & Wellness is a highly regarded health care facility dedicated to serving members of the Jesuit community. For nearly fifty years, it has provided comprehensive and compassionate care rooted in integrative medicine, human nutrition, spiritual support, and personal health management. At the core of its philosophy is the Jesuit concept of cura personalis, or "care of the person." This approach guides all aspects of life at Campion, where staff and residents work together to pursue specific, person-centered health goals and foster an environment of collaboration, respect, and healing.
The center is deeply committed to assisting Jesuits in need of recuperation and restoration, offering them a welcoming space to refresh and rebuild. Even as residents may face new physical limitations, they are encouraged to discover renewed freedom and happiness, continuing their spiritual and ministerial contributions. The Campion community values the opportunity to care for those who dedicated their lives to service, ensuring that each resident’s legacy is honored and their individual needs are met with expertise and empathy.
Clinical services at Campion Health & Wellness are comprehensive, encompassing nursing care and rehabilitative medicine. These essential medical services are further complemented by a diverse range of additional modalities tailored to the unique needs of each resident. The center features options such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, chair yoga, a fitness center, a therapeutic pool, a demonstration kitchen, and prayer rooms. Built on departmental assessments—from nursing, rehabilitation, medicine, chaplaincy, and social services to dietary and therapeutic activities—each Jesuit is empowered to make informed decisions about his own care. This patient-centered approach is designed to restore each individual’s capacity to engage fully in ministry, encouraging collaboration among residents and the skilled Campion team.
Nutrition and communal dining play a vital role in daily life at Campion. Recognizing the intrinsic link between food, nutrition, and holistic well-being, the center places a strong emphasis on high-quality, farm-to-table produce and appealing meal selections. The culinary experience extends beyond the refectory, with a demonstration kitchen highlighting the fundamentals of good nutrition and featuring dishes from around the globe. This focus helps residents reconnect with the importance of mindful eating, contributing to both improved health and the joy of shared mealtimes.
Spiritual care is especially significant at Campion Health & Wellness and is deeply rooted in the Ignatian tradition. Many residents participate in spiritual development and ongoing religious formation, benefiting from the supportive environment of the Campion Renewal Center. Jesuits collaborate with chaplaincy staff to review their life journeys and adapt their ministry involvement to accommodate changes in health. Through daily prayer, spiritual direction, and engagement with fellow residents and visitors, the community maintains a vibrant spiritual life essential to the Jesuit identity.
Campion Health & Wellness continues to evolve, with recent enhancements to facilities and services designed to address the changing needs of its residents. The dedication of the staff and the cooperative spirit of the Jesuit community ensure that each individual receives holistic care—physical, emotional, and spiritual—empowering them to live their later years with dignity, purpose, and joy.
