Neuro Challenge Foundation Announces Partnership with Medical Fitness Network to Provide New Fitness and Allied Healthcare Provider Resource
(August 9, 2017) Sarasota, FL– Neuro Challenge Foundation has partnered with the Medical Fitness Network (MFN) –a free national online resource directory to locate fitness, wellness and allied healthcare professionals who provide services for those with medical conditions, chronic disease or women’s health issues.
“Exercise is an important part of healthy living for everyone. For people with Parkinson’s, exercise is more than healthy, it is a vital component to maintaining balance, mobility and the ability to perform activities of daily living. Establishing early exercise habits is essential part of overall disease management as an extension of their treatment. Doctors will recommend exercise but then people with Parkinson’s are often left to their own devices to determine how best to fill these doctor’s orders. The person can search online for fitness and allied healthcare providers, but it can be a daunting task to find the right solution. ” Robyn Faucy, the Executive Director at Neuro Challenge said. “We are excited to partner with the MFN in order to provide a resource for those with Parkinson’s and their families to find health, wellness & fitness providers all in one place that best fit their needs.”
“The MFN strives to improve the quality of life for those with Parkinson’s, family members and caregivers by providing a registry of professionals that offer a holistic approach to complement their medical care,” said MFN founder Lisa Dougherty. ” We are also excited to help create awareness about their community programs & events.”
