Something New at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital!

 I am excited and proud to be joining the team at the Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital Foundation as a new Board member. I look forward to helping in raising funds and awareness for our hospital.  There’s an old saying that “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”  Well, Henry Mayo is going to walk that talk!  With the help (and words) of Foundation President Marlee Lauffer, check out what’s coming to assist in that ounce of prevention…
For over 40 years Henry Mayo has taken great pride in providing healthcare services to Santa Clarita Valley residents.  Now, they will be helping people stay out of our hospital by providing them a unique, welcoming environment where they can exercise, develop healthy habits, participate in education programs, receive healthcare services and more. It’s well known that a moderate amount of daily physical activity can substantially improve our health and quality of life. Scheduled to open in June, Henry Mayo Fitness and Health will be the only medically integrated health and fitness center in the Santa Clarita Valley. It will provide a platform to help members of our community sustain active, healthy lifestyles. The center’s dynamic environment will offer all of the features of a state-of-the-art fitness center, combined with diagnostic and therapeutic healthcare services, all customized for each member. Our goal is to provide an intimidation-free, member-focused, comfortable exercise environment with personalized attention to members by certified fitness center training staff, who offer tailored, targeted and safe exercise programs. The fitness club side of the facility will be managed by a credentialed professional staff and will include a variety of exercise amenities such as a strength training area, weight training, cardio equipment, group exercise studios, a pool and locker rooms.  Henry Mayo staff will manage the clinical services and medical resources side of the center, with an emphasis on rehabilitation, orthopedic services, diabetic conditions and cardiology. By offering these services, we will extend our continuum of care beyond hospitalization and serve our patients who are on the journey to full recovery and health maintenance. Henry Mayo Fitness and Health will help us deliver on our mission to improve the health of our community. As a clinically integrated medical fitness and wellness center, we will offer the Santa Clarita Valley a premier destination for individual and family fitness and preventive healthcare.
