health improvement
I found this expression to be rather beûrk when I first saw it ;-) they had developed a health improvement programme at NavCan for employees - not exactly a wellbeing place, just a improve your health place through better food, more balanced life - so it's a place to better your health.

: mieux-être ne concerne pas seulement la santé/health - it is not "beurk" but very common in French!! means improved well-being not just improving your health

: (post-grading) you're welcome! et dommage... votre version était pourtant ce qui convient pour "mieux-être"... qui ne signifie pas seulement amélioration "de la santé"

: "mieux-être" is actually the standard translation for "well-being" (this works out to a backtranslation).

Santé et bien-être doivent être des notions philosophiquement différentes et elles le sont ! Vive les subtilités ! Bonne semaine, merci.
