Topic: Wellness and Fitness Template

As the Executive Director of the Miami Valley Fire/EMS Alliance, it is with great pleasure that I present to the membership the Wellness and Fitness Template.  The Health and Wellness Workgroup has been working diligently on the project for an extended period of time. Their dedication is fueled by a desire to help firefighters achieve a healthy lifestyle.

The template outlines four modules that work together to create a Wellness and Fitness Program.
Included in the binder is a DVD of exercises with the correct form demonstrated.  In the near future, the template will be posted on the Alliance website www.mvfea.com with a link: wellness.mvfea.com.

While the work on the template is winding down, planning for seminars and workshops continues.  Information regarding upcoming events will be available through the Advisor Newsletter and weekly emails.

I wish to thank the members of the Health and Wellness Workgroup and the departments that they represent for their support on a very worthwhile project.
