TriHealth Fitness & Health Pavilion Earns Medical Fitness Facility Re-Certification

The TriHealth Fitness & Health Pavilion is pleased to announce today that it has achieved its fifth Facility Re-Certification by the Medical Fitness Association, the country’s leading organization dedicated solely to medically integrated wellness and fitness facilities. This re-certification represents a significant ongoing commitment on the part of the TriHealth Fitness & Health Pavilion to offer the highest standards of professional expertise and quality programming. The TriHealth Fitness & Health Pavilion is here to help members develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle that minimizes the risk of illness and disease and promotes overall wellness.

 John Jacobs, Senior Director, TriHealth Fitness & Health Pavilion, Corporate Health states:

“Our team’s commitment to providing comprehensive Medical Fitness programs and services has been proven again at the global level, with our industry-leading fifth consecutive re-certification. We are grateful for the support of the Medical Fitness Association, our TriHealth system, and all of our team members. We are proud of our providers, patients, and community members who have dedicated themselves to the goal that, a life lived better, is a better-lived life.”

The Medical Fitness Association’s Facility Certification is the first and only certification offered specifically to facilities in the medical fitness industry—an industry that serves over four million members worldwide. Based on the Association’s internationally recognized Standards and Guidelines for Medical Fitness Facilities, the certification process involves an in-depth, on-site review of a facility’s adherence to a set of prescribed standards and guidelines. The certification process is an integral part of ensuring that facilities provide a high level of quality and safety in the programs and services they deliver in order for them to become fully integrated into the local continuum of health care. The Medical Fitness Association Facility Certification is recognized as a mark of excellence in the health and wellness industry.

“As the incidence of chronic disease continues to rise, the need for medical fitness facilities to offer a high standard of programming for the communities they serve is more important than ever,” said David Flench, FACHE, FMFA, President and CEO of the Medical Fitness Association. “Studies have shown that when people maintain an active lifestyle, especially in a safe environment, they reduce the risk of illness down the road. The TriHealth Fitness & Health Pavilion continues to take this important step in providing this extraordinary level of care.”
