HealthFit, powered by Sarasota Memorial, became a Certified Medical Fitness Facility on December 16, a resolution set by Sarasota Memorial last year and testament to the medically sound prevention and rehabilitation programs the health system offers at its medically oriented fitness center on Clark Road. The certification, which is effective for three years, is the nation’s only quality designation for medically integrated fitness centers. It is awarded sparingly by the not-for-profit Medical Fitness Association (MFA) to facilities that demonstrate the highest standards for quality and safety, and HealthFit is the first facility in Florida to receive the certification. The certification process involves an in-depth on-site review of the facility and medically supervised, outcomes and accountability based exercise programs. The center’s team of health and fitness professionals help members, regardless of their health status, maintain active lifestyles that promote strength and endurance and prevent or manage chronic disease.
