WORKING TOWARD A HEALTHIER COMMUNITY

AS THE WORLD OF MEDICINE changes, more healthcare professionals are feeling the push toward a stronger focus on preventive medical care, not just diagnosis and treatment. Always staying ahead of the curve and on the cutting edge, South Lake Hospital has taken the initiative to launch the rebranding of their campus as a LiveWell campus.

“We are looking for this to be a brand for all of South Lake County,” says John Moore, president of South Lake Hospital. “For years, we have been known as a health and wellness community, and we have continued to grow our campus with new services focusing on preventive care. And with South Lake Hospital being the hub of health, wellness, and sports, we wanted to create a brand where we could work with the community and businesses to provide tools for a healthy lifestyle.”

South Lake Hospital’s 180-acre campus will offer a number of health education programs, community-wide events, and fun activities for adults and families both in the community and at the LiveWell Fitness Center. In addition it will continue to offer sports training for athletes and sports tourism opportunities at the celebrated National Training Center. “We will boost awareness in the community about the importance of living a healthy and active life. There will also be hands-on programs and resources to learn from health and fitness experts,” says Moore.

South Lake Hospital will also offer two exceptional health-focused programs. The BeWell fitness program, which has been developed by campus medical and fitness experts, is geared toward the individual seeking a healthier way of life. This eight-week program will help boost your energy levels, kick-start your metabolism, establish good nutrition, and improve your overall wellness. The WorkWell program aims to make healthy living an essential part of the workplace to benefit both employees and employers.

South Lake Hospital also continues to be a pioneer in medical treatment. In addition to embracing leadingedge technology to better serve their patients, the hospital is working toward opening a skilled nursing facility. This adds another demographic to their scope of care, which offers the best healthcare options from birth all the way to one’s later stages in life.

In response to the new LiveWell identity, Moore says the community has been receptive and supportive of bringing preventive healthcare to the masses. “If you look at the healthcare model we are moving toward, it is about population health and keeping the population fit,” he says. “It has been a fifteen-year journey for us, and we are excited to be bringing this innovative, forward-thinking concept to South Lake County.”
