On Tuesday, December 3, 2024, at 2pmCT, a special ceremony will take place to officially rename Westlake Drive in Columbia to Wellness Way, a symbolic and meaningful change that reflects the community's commitment to health, well-being, and vitality. The event will be held at T.J. Health Columbia, 901 Wellness Way, and members of the public are encouraged to attend.

This dedication ceremony will not only mark the new name for the road, but it will also bring the community together to support two important charitable initiatives. Attendees are invited to bring a new toy for children and socks for seniors to donate as part of the Stuff the Cruiser event, which benefits local families and seniors in need during the holiday season.

The renaming of Westlake Drive to Wellness Way is an exciting step towards fostering a culture of wellness within the community, aligning with efforts to create a healthier environment for residents of all ages. The new name will serve as a reminder of the importance of physical, mental, and social well-being and will be a visible representation of the community's values.
