Impact the health of rural residents by building a Wellness Center.Webster County Community Hospital

The "Community Wellness Center” in our hospital would give us the opportunity to promote wellness for the community as well as for our employees.   The current exercise area at the Red Cloud Community Center is insufficient and the hospital currently has limited exercise equipment for patients and no exercise equipment for employees.   Furthermore, with the addition of equipment we would also be able to expand our current physical therapy and cardiac rehabilitation services.

Objectives

• Enhance wellness opportunities for community and employees
• Promote prevention and management of disease process influenced by exercise
• Provide additional physical therapy and cardiac rehabilitation services

Benefits

• Improved health of residents of community and employees
• Healthier employees that would reduce illness and time off from work
• Financial savings exercise can provide to help curb rising health care costs
