“Berwick on the Lake has been advertising with the WellnessNews since 2018. What we really like about this publication is the amount of coverage that we receive. Being a short, quick read is appealing to people and we have received comments from people saying that they saw our ad in the publication. Teresa is a joy to deal with and always very professional and helpful. I recommend the WellnessNews publication to any business looking to increase top of mind awareness in an affordable way.” Kristine Newman, Community Relations Manager, Berwick on the Lake Retirement Community
