A United Front Against Addiction
Zinnia Health has joined forces with Herren Project as a corporate sponsor for their upcoming Wellness Week initiative, scheduled for March 4, to March 9, 2024. This week-long event promotes holistic well-being through various activities, educational sessions, and community events.
By participating in Wellness Week, we have the opportunity to engage with those who have been impacted by addiction, create valuable relationships to enhance addiction recovery, and contribute to community wellness on a national level.
Zinnia Health and Wellness Week: A Perfect Synergy
At Zinnia Health, we believe a strong correlation exists between health, wellness, and successful addiction recovery. Our holistic approach treats patients with co-occurring disorders, acknowledging recovery as a lifelong journey requiring continuous support and encouragement.
This collaboration is a testament to our mutual dedication to accessible addiction recovery and mental health treatment.
Together, we work to set new standards in promoting holistic health through positive lifestyle changes and bring attention to the importance of a supportive community network, which is crucial for long-term recovery.

Purple With A Purpose: The Purple Plank Challenge
We are proud to participate in the Purple Plank Challenge, an innovative and engaging activity designed to raise awareness about the addiction recovery movement.
By encouraging our team and community members to “Plank Purple” in creative and fun ways, we’re spreading the message of hope and solidarity, all while wearing purple.
Illuminating Hope: Engagement and Advocacy
Zinnia Health Exeter staff are excited to participate in the Wellness Week Purple Illumination Event at the Rhode Island State House on Monday, March 4.
