GCMH Foundation Opens Foundation for Wellness

After many months of planning and one long month of renovation, the Greene County Memorial Hospital Foundation (GCMHF) opened the Foundation for Wellness facility on the first floor of Southwest Regional Medical Center (SRMC). Giving the former Wellness Center an entire facelift and then equipping it with nearly $200,000 of state of the art equipment, the Foundation for Wellness celebrated a Grand Opening on January 21, 2010.

Making brief presentations at the event were Jay Hammers, President of the Board of Directors of GCMHF, Cindy Cowie, CEO of SRMC, and David Jones, Executive Director of GCMHF. The facility, which has more than 500 members, now has twenty pieces of cardiovascular equipment, fifteen weight training machines, a therapy pool and a free weight room with more than 7,000 pounds of free weights.

The facility is currently accepting new members and has extremely reasonable rates, as well as extended hours throughout the week. For more information, please call 724-627-2739.
