In 1992, a program was developed by Healthways to encourage seniors to participate in physical activity. The result was a program called “SilverSneakers” and it helps older adults take greater control of their health by encouraging physical activity. Sponsored by Medicare health plans throughout the United States, one of the benefits of the program is that it pays for a fitness center membership.  Paulding County Hospital recently has joined this program. A large participating insurance provider in this area is Humana.  Other Medicare insurance plans may also offer this benefit. If you wish to inquire if your Medicare insurance provider provides this benefit, give them a call and see if you can take advantage of this wonderful benefit. 

If you currently are a member of the “SilverSneakers” program and you have a membership card, please bring it along to the fitness center at Paulding County Hospital and you can be enrolled in our fitness center.
