Classes will be offered and to all members of the community and taught by individuals experienced in these practices.

Nutrition & Fitness TrainingNutritional, fitness, and weight management training will be available for individuals within the community to assist them in attaining their personal goals. Broader educational programs on these topics will also be available and will be offered in group settings. Trainings will be conducted by individuals with a thorough understanding of the correlation between physical wellbeing and positive mental health. We hope to coordinate care with Primary Care Providers within the community. This coordination of care ensures participant safety by taking unique health needs and limitations into account when designing plans for nutrition and exercise. These services can also be expanded to help young athletes achieve their personal goals within their areas of interest.

Support for Cancer SurvivorsOur community has a significantly high rate of cancer. We are currently partnered with Penn State Hershey Medical Center in researching cancer rates in rural communities (PPCC: The Partnering to Prevent and Control Cancer). PPCC is to create a program designed specifically for rural cancer survivors that will help increase physical activity. This study first strives to learn more about the factors that either encourage or discourage cancer survivors from being physically active.
