Sustainable Sips: How Connected Health Supports Local Impact with Welly Bottles
At Connected Health, we are committed to promoting better health and sustainability in every aspect of our care. As part of this commitment, we gift each new patient a reusable Welly water bottle—a choice that reflects our dedication to health, environmental responsibility, and community support.
Supporting a Local Visionary
Welly was founded by Pittsburgh native Ben Kander in 2015. Inspired by the memory of his mother, Ellen, Ben sought to create a product that would honor her legacy and make a positive impact on the world. The result was Welly, a company that produces beautifully designed, sustainable water bottles.
Celebrating Welly's U.S. Manufacturing
Welly is making history as the first insulated steel drink ware brand to be manufactured in the U.S. Its new facility in Plum Borough, Pennsylvania, brings production closer to home, creates jobs, and reinforces its commitment to sustainability.
Gifting our patients a Welly bottle isn’t just about hydration—it’s about backing a brand that’s making a real impact, both locally and globally.
A Commitment to Health and Impact
While our focus at Connected Health is providing exceptional, personalized medical care, we also believe in supporting brands that make a difference. Welly donates at least 1%of sales to clean water projects worldwide, helping ensure access to safe drinking water for those in need. By gifting our new patients a Welly bottle, we’re not just promoting hydration—we’re also contributing to a larger effort to improve global health and sustainability.
Promoting Hydration
Proper hydration supports digestion, enhances cognitive function, regulates body temperature, and maintains energy levels. Even mild dehydration can impact focus, metabolism, and overall well-being. That’s why we consistently emphasize hydration in our patient education and have installed water bottle refill stations throughout our Connected Health facility to encourage regular water consumption.
Environmental Stewardship
By providing reusable Welly bottles, we aim to reduce reliance on single-use plastics and combat the growing concern of microplastics in our environment. Welly bottles are crafted with sustainable materials like bamboo and premium-grade stainless steel, offering a high-quality, stylish alternative that minimizes environmental impact.
A Thoughtful Gift for Our Patients
Gifting Welly bottles to our new patients is more than a gesture; it's an invitation to join us in embracing a lifestyle that values health, sustainability, and community. We believe that by making conscious choices together, we can contribute to a healthier future for ourselves and the planet.
At Connected Health, your well-being is our priority, and we're proud to support you with tools that reflect our shared values.
