Intake assessments are “in the book” and 27 people have started on a journey toward increased cardio-respiratory fitness, improved musculo-skeletal flexibility and greater muscular strength. Fit – Flexible – Strong is a medically-based and individually-tailored fitness program sponsored by the Boothbay Region Health Center. We are eager to “testdrive” our concept of client involvement and individual responsibility, empowering and encouraging participants to take control of their own health with our coaching and assistance.

The program will run through May 2017. It won’t always be easy but if they stick with it ….. not only will they get a cash rebate as a financial incentive but they will gain better overall health !!!!!!!!

As a community we can:

1. Take local control of our primary health service.

2. Establish a patient-driven primary care practice model

3. Increase access and use primary health care services appropriately.

4. Make both individual and community-wide choices that will result in improved health status.

1. Get a higher percentage of the population into an ongoing relationship with a primary care provider.

2. Reduce perhaps by half the number of unnecessary Emergency Department and Urgent Care visits.

3. Achieve a demonstrable improvement in the health status of the community.
