Team Franciscan Center: Silver Sneakers and Forever Fit!

Dr. Jack Harless
Manager





Great News! We are now accepting Silver Sneakers & Forever Fit at the Franciscan Center. I know many of you have been asking about this program since we opened the center a little over a year ago, but the day has finally arrived!


For those of you who don’t know what Silver Sneakers & Forever Fit is, it is a fun, energizing program that helps older adults take greater control of their health by encouraging physical activity and offering social events. Health plans around the country offer this award-winning program to people who are eligible for Medicare or to group retirees. Silver Sneakers provides a fitness center membership to The Franciscan Center. This great benefit includes

  • access to conditioning classes, exercise equipment, pool, hot tub and other available amenities
  • customized SilverSneakers classes designed exclusively for older adults who want to improve their strength, flexibility, balance and endurance
  • health education seminars and other events that promote the benefits of a healthy lifestyle
  • a specially trained Program AdvisorSM at the fitness center to introduce you to Silver Sneakers and help you get started
  • member-only access to online support that can help you lose weight, quit smoking or reduce your stress

Please call 1-888-423-4632 to find out if your health plan offers SilverSneakers or Forever Fit. You can also call The Franciscan Center front desk at 436-2203
