Facility Certification
The Medical Fitness Association has launched the first industry facility certification program. The certification provides a mechanism for health and fitness facilities across the country to benchmark their programs and services against standards and guidelines designed specifically for medically integrated centers. Based on The Medical Fitness Association's Standards & Guidelines for Medical Fitness Center Facilities published by Healthy Learning, the certification process is an in-depth review of a facility and its adherence to the standards. Many factors distinguish the medical fitness difference including: active and regular medical oversight; qualified and credentialed staff; disease management and clinical integration of programs; utilization of an individual's personal health status in creating an individualized exercise prescription to reduce their overall health risk; quality management; and, a focus on improving community health.
