PARKERSBURG — The WVU Medicine Health & Wellness Center at Camden Clark Medical Center is celebrating its 35th anniversary this month.
The Health & Wellness Center has provided the Mid-Ohio Valley community with an amenity-filled, full-service fitness facility since June 5, 1989. During that time, the center has evolved and adapted to the needs of Camden Clark members and patients.
According to a release from Camden Clark, the Health & Wellness Centre will have educated, certified and experienced fitness professionals guiding individuals through every step of their health journey. The medically based fitness model was adopted to empower individuals to take charge of their overall health and wellness rather than focusing solely on fitness.
Amenities include state-of-the-art equipment, group fitness classes, a pool area, sauna and steam rooms, basketball, racquetball and pickleball areas, etc. The Health & Wellness Center also offers several clinically integrated programs to ensure continuity of care for Camden Clark patients.
As part of the anniversary celebration this week, guests can enjoy an ’80s theme and decorations, a selfie photo booth, free healthy snacks and giveaways. Health and Wellness Center memberships will also be available for $35 for the first month throughout the month of June.
