Health & Fitness
Over the years, Sonoma Valley has attracted
numerous health care and fitness professionals in traditional and
alternative fields, giving residents an abundance of treatment options.
Choices include traditional practitioners, specialists, surgeons,
chiropractors, and pharmacists, as well as practitioners in areas such
as acupuncture, homeopathy, psychotherapy, aromatherapy, and nutrition
and diet counseling. Excellent dental, eye, skin, and hearing care are
also widely available.
Just minutes from downtown, you’ll find Sonoma Valley Hospital,
with the two largest medical centers and professional complexes within
walking distance. An initiative to construct a new, larger hospital is
now underway. The Sonoma Valley Community Health Center and two
physical therapy facilities offer additional services.
With its temperate weather and beautiful
scenery, the Sonoma Valley is made for active living. Many fitness
activities are free. Public parks feature miles of hiking and bicycle
trails. Public and private sports facilities offer golf, tennis,
basketball, baseball, football, soccer, and swimming. Fitness clubs,
the Vintage House Senior Center, and adult-living communities provide recreational programs of all kinds.
