The Wellness Center at South Central Foundation increases patient access to exercise physiologists

[Picket:]
We also have a wellness center at Southcentral Foundation. They just put that in last year, and so they’re really working on people, on our patients having access to exercise and to exercise physiologists to help them kind of design an exercise program. In the summer it’s much easier.
[Lindberg:]
Yeah, sure, oh, yeah, everything is better.

We say, “Go out and walk two miles every night—or go fishing.” I actually find that my patients in the summer are so much healthier. They’re out fishing, they’re out picking berries, they’re living a traditional lifestyle, and it’s the winter that we get into trouble.
