CHI St. Joseph’s Health is happy to announce that the grant funds will help provide assistance to veterans so they may participate in exercise programs offered at the hospital. Assistance from this grant will be available to veterans, or immediate family members of veterans, that might otherwise be unable to afford exercise classes like MOVE, Parkinson’s classes, or the Cardiac Rehabilitation Phase III program. The mission of the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) is empowering veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. If you or anyone you know would benefit from this grant and the exercise and wellness services available, please call CHI St. Joseph’s Health at 218.616.3000.
