Wauseon, Ohio — Maumee Valley Guidance Center (MVGC) is proud to announce the launch of the FOX Wellness Program, a comprehensive initiative designed to support the mental, emotional, and overall well-being of veterans living in Defiance, Henry, Fulton, and Williams counties.
The FOX Wellness Program is built around eight dimensions of wellness, recognizing that true health extends beyond clinical care.
The program provides veterans with access to individualized support and resources that promote resilience, connection, and long-term stability.
“Veterans in our communities have made tremendous sacrifices,” said Dawn Miller, CEO of Maumee Valley Guidance Center. “The FOX Wellness Program is our commitment to ensuring they have access to the support they deserve — support that is accessible, respectful, and tailored to their unique experiences.”
Through the FOX Wellness Program, veterans can access:
-Individual support and coaching to navigate challenges
-Community connection opportunities
-Education and tools focused on whole-person wellness
-Assistance navigating resources and benefits
The program is designed to reduce barriers to care and ensure that veterans feel supported at every stage of their journey.
“Many veterans face challenges that can feel isolating,” added Rachelle McDonald, program manager. “This program reinforces a simple but powerful message: you don’t have to carry it alone.”
