With his appointment to Director of Health and Wellness, Kendal at Granville hopes to accomplish two primary objectives: a more complete staffing of the Wellness Center Monday through Friday, and an organized, multidisciplinary Wellness Program which could positively impact the quality of life of Kendal residents. Dr. Weigand will also facilitate and direct wellness initiatives relative, but not limited to: preventative health care, mental wellness including stress management, exercise, and nutritional, spiritual and financial wellness.

We are pleased and honored to have Dr. John Weigand serve as our Medical Director and Director of Health and Wellness. He brings his warm personality, great sense of humor, excellent experience and commitment to teaching to Kendal at Granville.
