Rumford Hospital Wellness Incorporated Rumford Hospital established a fitness center for its staff members in the early 1990s. Soon it became obvious that other people in the area needed the same opportunity, so Wellness Incorporated was opened to the public. This service is available to those individuals who would like to have a program created just for them.
Interested participants schedule a fitness evaluation with the center's fitness specialist.
This consult includes a personal interview, fitness assessment and a health risk appraisal. A personalized exercise program is then designed based on the member's needs, personal fitness goals, results of the fitness screening and recommendations by the fitness specialist and the member's physician. These sessions are conducted by the Wellness Incorporated staff for clients who receive an individualized exercise program and for people who choose to develop their own fitness programs. This comprehensive measure of body composition consists of both girth and skinfold measurements. Members 14 and under, as well as those 35 and over, need medical clearance from their physician.
