Winnipesaukee Wellness Center
Dear Residents of the Town of Meredith:
Supported Outside Agencies
The Winnipesaukee Wellness Center members thank you for your continued support of the Center in 2012.
As you may know, the Winnipesaukee Wellness Center is a medically supervised program that is a selfsupporting
department of Lakes Region General Hospital. Its mission is to promote health responsibility,
to provide a safe, comfortable site to exercise, to provide ongoing support and encouragement of healthy
lifestyle habits and to promote active lifestyles.
The Center has been at the 78 Whittier Highway location in Moultonboro for three years now and the site
is working out well for our clients. An Advisory Committee consisting of members, interested community
members, and LRGH management team meet monthly and oversee the Center’s operations.
The Center depends on the support from surrounding towns and fundraisers to keep the member fees
affordable for members of the community.
In 2012, 15% of the membership are residents of Meredith and benefit from the services available to them
at the Center. The members range in age from 42-94.
The Center is open three days per week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6am to 4pm. The
program is not just an exercise program as the members benefit from the oversight and experience of a
Registered Nurse who helps design an individualized exercise program to meet their needs. The members
also benefit from the social aspect of the center and often attend luncheons or go to coffee after exercise
which is an important aspect of
many members’ lives.
The monthly fee for the
program is $50.00 per person
and $80.00 per couple.
Financial assistance is
available to those who qualify.
We invite you to come and see
the Center in action during the
regular hours of operation or
call 253-1839 for information.
Sincerely,
The Winnipesaukee Wellness
Center Advisory Committee
