Presented by ACSM in partnership with Medical Fitness Association (MFA).
We are starting to realize the fallout of the pandemic on healthcare systems with high CEO turnover, nurse shortages, hospital closings, and increased physician suicide. We are also seeing, at the same time, the health of America rapidly declining. Employee burnout cost $322 billion in lost productivity (Gallup). There will be 500 million new cases of preventable diseases by 2030 forecasted to cost $300 million. Deloitte & Touche forecasted a 13.8% increase in employer healthcare spend in 2023. CDC forecasts that by 2030, one in five Americans will be obese. How do we support these daunting trends? This course addresses the need to step up as medical wellness professionals to lead the way offering lifestyle education programs to our local community, to employers and all potential partners. Learn how to take it to the people by teaching commercial fitness centers how to adopt a medical wellness/fitness model to embrace lifestyle education programs in their centers. If not us, then who?
