The Commit to Fit! Prescription for Health program is an evidence-based program that seeks to improve the physician-patient relationship and create or increase use of community-based tools. These tools will not only improve resident physical activity, nutrition, and wellness, they will also aid physicians to better assess, review, and promote physical activity to patients.
Through the Commit to Fit! Prescription for Health Program, patients and residents will be provided with disease-specific activity plans. Additionally, they will be provided linkages to community-based physical activity, health maintenance, and wellness resources, such as opportunities to practice physical activity in safe, affordable locations.
