How a fitness center promotes community health

A growing number of hospitals and health systems across the country are operating hospital-based fitness centers that are open to the public and their employees in order to boost engagement and improve health in their communities, but many find it challenging to reach the community and engage community members in their health.

This fitness center partnered with HealthFitness in 1997 to provide health and fitness services and to promote community health. The fitness center is an extension of the health promotion and wellness activities provided by a leading health care system in Wisconsin.
