Freedom Center's Exercise is Medicine® Receives Sentara Grant
Expands Reach of Health and Wellness Program
Because of a generous donation from the Sentara Community Health & Wellness Partnership, the Freedom Aquatic & Fitness Center is able to offer financial assistance for the Exercise is Medicine (EIM) program to those who could otherwise not be able to afford it.
EIM is a global health initiative managed by the American College of Sports Medicine. The purpose of EIM is to make the assessment and promotion of physical activity a standard in clinical care by connecting health care with evidence-based physical activity resources for people everywhere and of all abilities.
Because insurance currently does not cover EIM services, Sentara's support will make EIM available to more people. You don't have to be a Freedom Center member to participate in EIM there!
