The Center for Health Improvement at HaysMed announced Monday it’s become a certified medical fitness facility by the Medical Fitness Association.  Stephanie Schaffer, Fitness Director, says the ” medical fitness model is unique in the fact that we integrate many services and have established ourselves as a part of the hospitals continuum of care while working closely with the healthcare providers; to our qualified staff and finally with our involvement within the community. ”

Based on the Medical Fitness Association’s naturally recognized official Standards and Guidelines for Medical Fitness Facilities, the certification process involves an in-depth review of a facility’s adherence to the prescribed standards and guidelines. The Medical Fitness Association Facility Certification is recognized as a mark of excellence in the health and wellness industry.
