Team Franciscan Center: June Update!



Greetings & happy June to everyone! Our annual 5K walk/run on June 9th was a real hit. We had close to 350 runners/walkers and the weather was beautiful. Congratulations to TFC members Christina Addison and Mary Lu Flynn who won medals in their respective age groups. Way to go ladies!


At-a-Boys & Girls go to TFC members Liz Taylor , Donald Brinkman, John Vallo and Jeff & Joan Cutlip for finishing the race with great personal times. We’re proud of everyone who participated.

Another new and exciting development on the St. Leonard campus is our Life Trail exercise station across from TFC. This outdoor exercise equipment will have a total of seven stations when it is fully finished.

The Life Trial will allow you to perform such activities as squats, upper body cycling, stairs, overhead press, wobble board, PNF exercises for greater strength, stability, and improved posture, and many more.

Each station offers three exercise panels with at least one wheelchair accessible panel at each station.

Every station does have safety bars for those who feel more comfortable with support while they exercise. There are a total of 159 possible exercises that can be done with this equipment in the beauty of the great outdoors.

We will be having a Life Trail orientation class every Tues. morning at 8 a.m. through the month of July for those that are interested in finding out more about this wonderful addition to wellness on the beautiful St. Leonard campus.

Call TFC today to sign up for the Life Trail orientation class at 436-2203.

Happy Father’s Day to Dad’s everywhere!

Dr. Jack Harless

Manager of the Franciscan Center
