About book club
The Health and Wellness Book Club was born from a shared love of learning, wellness, and meaningful conversation. As healthcare practitioners, we found ourselves constantly recommending books to patients, friends, and each other—so we decided to create a space to explore those ideas together.
Our book club is a casual, inclusive gathering where we read health and wellness-related books and come together to chat about what inspired us, challenged us, or made us think differently. Whether you're a practitioner, a patient, a book lover, or just curious about health, you're invited. We meet every 8-10 weeks, and each meetup is an opportunity to connect, reflect, and grow—one book at a time.
Come for the books, stay for the community.
