LAKEPORT >> For the second year in a row, Lake County residents who qualify based upon financial need have the opportunity to receive a free gym membership, thanks to a collaboration between Sutter Lakeside Hospital and City Fitness. The hospital is offering ten individual City Fitness gym memberships with City Fitness donating five more.
“Every New Year, we hear how difficult it can be to maintain an affordable fitness program,” stated City Fitness co-owner Sarah K. McClean. “Sutter Lakeside Hospital”s gym membership donation coupled with our donations mean that 15 local residents, who may otherwise be unable to afford a gym membership, will be working out with us throughout 2015. We”re excited to be a part of this opportunity.”
“Wellness care, like exercise, can dramatically enhance health care outcomes. Sutter Lakeside Hospital wants to continue collaborating with our community partners to offer Lake County residents the opportunity to improve their health. We are pleased that City Fitness wants to continue our partnership for a second year in a row,” adds Sutter Lakeside Hospital Chief Administrative Officer Siri Nelson.
The application deadline is Dec. 22. The chosen recipients will be notified by Dec. 31. Applications are available at Sutter Lakeside Hospital Rehabilitation Services located at 5196 Hill Rd. East in Lakeport and at City Fitness at 871 Bevins St. in Lakeport.
