Announcing MedFit Care
Dear Members,

I'm so excited to announce a new division of the MedFit project, MedFit Care!  
All MFN members who have completed any of MedFit Classroom's Medical Fitness Specialist courses will be able to get access to "Medically Necessary Exercise Prescriptions" for their clients and members in April.

MedFit Care will be a telehealth company that will offer medically necessary exercise prescriptions for consumers/patients to be able to use HSA/FSA monies to pay for personal fitness training and/or to be able to include personal fitness training as a medical expense on their income tax return.


If you have any questions about MedFit Care, feel free to contact me at Lisa@MedFitNetwork.Org

Warm Regards,
Lisa Dougherty
Founder, MedFit Network and MedFit Education Foundation

Education Spotlight: Alzheimer's Fitness Specialist
With numerous lifestyle factors mediating this disease rather than genetics, you can bring a message of hope to enhance quality of life. All physical activity is good for the brain, but the inclusion of specific elements such as coordination, reactivity, partner interaction, attention and memory challenges integrated with physical activity make it even more beneficial.

As an Alzheimer's Disease Fitness Specialist, you can make today better for patients, caregivers, or those seeking to optimize the experience and enjoyment of physical activity.

Trainers Can Make a Difference: A Personal Trainer’s Effect on Knee Surgery Preparation
By MFN Member Shannon Briggs

"One of my highest honors as a Personal Trainer has been to work alongside my clients in preparation for knee surgery and post-surgery rehabilitation. Working alongside a Physical Therapist (with the client’s permission to share information) to bring the client to a complete recovery has been a privilege and an excellent learning opportunity."
Partner Spotlight: Correct Toes
Correct Toes are anatomical toe spacers that help the foot rehabilitate from the negative effects of conventionally shaped footwear. With progressive and consistent use while active and weight bearing, toes align and feet strengthen, restoring your foot’s original position and function.

Designed by sports podiatrist Dr. Ray McClanahan, Correct Toes are the only toe spacer that can be worn barefoot or inside approved footwear, while being active.

MFN members save 50% on a Correct Toes purchase. (Can be used once per customer).
