The Yale New Haven Shoreline Medical Center, located near I-95, offers a combination of the local feel of a community health facility with the advanced care of an internationally known academic medical center. Its emergency department is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There are also a variety of other services, including diagnostics, radiation oncology and a one-day surgery center.
The sign reads, "Please take your shoes off and BREATHE," and that is part the ambiance at Total Health Center. It is a place to shed stress and find peace.
Run by instructor Marlene De Santo, this simple yoga center provides Hatha yoga classes during the week. The focus is on stress management and breathing. Marlene also offers her program, "Surviving Stress Through Yoga," on video tape or DVD and also carries Shaklee vitamins and herb supplements. The center can be found in the back left corner of the shopping center, and a corner door leads to the second-floor studio.
