Cool Thing I Got To Do

Last on Thursday I went in for my internship and got to do accompany Jon on a field trip of sorts.  We got a city vehicle and picked up two high up people from Banner Health/Good Samaritan hospital.  These gentleman had interest in integrating their goals to make the city healthier into what FitPHX is doing.  They want to get people healthy and not have to make hospital visits and try to prevent a persons problem before it starts.  We showed the two high ups a Walk Phoenix site at Maryvale Park.  We showed them the walking path along with the "Energy Zone" area inside the gym and things for the children to do in the Library.  We then went to a senior center and showed them FitPHX's integration into the senior community.  We finished at Verde Park with a showing of what kind of education FitPHX is giving to children with the help of local medical students.  They were very impressed and showed great interest in the hospital joining with FitPHX in some capacity.  It was a great experience and one of the many things that Jon brings me along to do.
