The Wellness Center at Glens Falls Hospital is open to the community as well as hospital employees. It is unique in the fact that it is staffed by exercise physiologists who can provide exercise assistance for marathon runners to clients who are at high risk or have various illnesses, diseases, or limitations. They provide exercise, counseling, and support services in a medically oriented environment. Our Motto is everyone can exercise, and everyone needs the benefits exercise provides.
The Wellness Center also runs a class that caters to the Senior population, and also houses The Cardiac Rehabilitation and Risk Reduction Programs for patients who have experienced, or are at high risk, for heart disease.
