More than a place to exercise
The Health & Wellness Center at Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel celebrated its five-year anniversary.
The center, which opened its doors in 2013, as a fitness facility featuring comprehensive health and wellness programs, now has more than 5,500 members who have come in to work out nearly 1.4 million times.
The center features indoor pools, a cushioned indoor track, group fitness rooms, state-of-the-art TechnoGym fitness equipment, and more. There are also degreed and certified personal trainers.
Members have a choice of more than 120 group fitness classes per week to take part in. Classes include the Les Mills programs, Pilates, Zumba, and aqua classes.
The facility offers child care services and has a Fit Fresh Café.
Crisis Center receives grant
The Crisis Center of Tampa Bay has been awarded a $10,000 grant from the Florida Medical Clinic Foundation of Caring.
The center serves as Hillsborough County’s certified rape crisis center, and staff are thoroughly trained in policies and procedures for interacting with survivors of sexual assault.
Survivors who report to an emergency room following an assault often communicate that the lack of privacy, long waits and overall treatment can be traumatizing.
The grant will allow the center’s sexual assault nurses and victim advocates to adequately train emergency room employees, who are often the first point of contact for survivors of sexual assault, in hospitals throughout Tampa.
