• Have you fallen in the past year?
• Do you feel unsteady when standing or walking?

Falls are the leading cause of injury, death, and loss of independence in older adults. Good News, Falls are not an inevitable part of aging!  Logan Health Medical Fitness Center offers several evidence-base programs in preventing falls and increasing quality of life.

Our nutrition programs offer current science-based nutrition assessments, education and counseling for all types of people. Our registered dietitians teach flexible, healthy eating for the mind and body that is effective, interactive, practical and fun.

With all of the nutritional information available in the world today, it can be a challenge to determine what information is valid and reliable versus other recommendations that may have profoundly negative health effects. A registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) is a nutrition expert that incorporates counseling, based on scientific, dependable evidence, to assist clients on a path towards improved health and wellness. Nutrition counseling can be used in the prevention or progression of various chronic diseases; improve athletic performance during various sports, events, and activities; and to identify nutrition factors that may be affecting overall well-being. An RDN has the information, implements the expertise, and provides the support needed to make sustainable, healthful changes that can last a lifetime.

Participants may choose to exercise independently, or attend a supervised exercise class. A monthly meeting with a member of the clinical staff for program evaluation is required. Any additional follow-up training sessions are scheduled according to each client’s individual needs. Accountability to program requirements is mandatory. We provide all necessary correspondence with insurance carriers and case management services.
