LIFT Wellness Center Sponsors Medical Fitness Week
Jackson, Tennessee (April 18, 2018) - LIFT Wellness Center is proud to partner with The Medical Fitness
Association to sponsor the 14 th Annual Medical Fitness Week, May 7 - 13, 2018. LIFT Wellness Center is
participating in the WALK10K, a Worldwide Walking Challenge. The WALK10K Challenge is open to the
community through LIFT Wellness Center.
The goal of the Medical Fitness Association initiative is to promote an increase in physical activity levels
in all ages and to highlight the medical fitness difference. During this international event medical fitness
centers throughout the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Europe, and Asia are offering resources and educational
opportunities for their communities promoting the medical fitness difference and raising awareness of
the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
“As a certified Medical Fitness Center, the LIFT Wellness Center’s mission is to improve the health of our
community using physical activity, nutrition and exercise. This is why we want to offer this challenge to
not only our members, but the community at large, to show them that 10,000 steps a day starts with
just one step. If this challenge jumpstarts just one person on the road to improved health and wellness,
then we are taking steps to improve the health of our community,” said Miki Martin, Director, LIFT
Wellness Center.
According to Dr. Lisa Piercey, Executive Vice President, “The core mission of West Tennessee Healthcare
is to improve the health and wellbeing of the communities we serve, and the LIFT Wellness Center is
critical to fulfilling this promise. The medical fitness services offered at LIFT are an integral part of our
initiative to move from ‘sick care’ to ‘well care,’ and we take pride in supporting our members’ efforts to
be more physically active and make better health choices.”
