Health & Wellness Wing
Recently, the Fort Wayne Community has been focusing on Wellness. An example of this is the extraordinary growth of Fort 4 Fitness (a program begun by ASH Centre founder, Brad Kimmel, who continues to work actively with this initiative). Fort 4 Fitness is a one day event in the Fall. What is needed is a year-round series of programs that continues to encourage all ages to adapt healthy lifestyles. A national program called Shapedown, locally supported by Parkview Health (who also sponsors F4F) has been housed at the ASH Centre for two years, with plans to grow and continue, if funding is available.
Parkview currently sponsors the nationally recognized program Shapedown, which focuses on education for those children who are diagnosed as medically obese. This program includes counseling for both parents and child.
Other aspects of the Health and Wellness Wing include expansion of Senior Care. (see Senior Support Centre for more information)
