Physical activity is an integral part of a healthy life. Our medical fitness services bridge the gap between health care and long-term wellness, offering physician-referred, evidence-based exercise solutions tailored to your condition and goals. Whether you're managing a chronic condition or looking to enhance your overall health, our programs offer personalized support to help you thrive.
We have medical fitness services for patients managing conditions-including heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, joint and bone issues, balance limitations or an increased risk of falling, recovery from orthopedic or bariatric procedures, and those navigating cancer diagnosis and treatment.
The BayCare Exercise Oncology Program provides evidence-based, individualized exercise and wellness support for patients from diagnosis through treatment and pre-survivorship.
Participation begins with a referral from a health care provider, helping ensure the program is safely integrated with each patient’s medical needs and treatment plan. Patients meet with a certified exercise oncology instructor for an orientation and comprehensive initial assessment. Based on the assessment, treatment status, symptoms and personal goals, the instructor develops a supervised exercise program that is adjusted as the patient’s needs change. Patients also receive support from a registered dietitian and oncology health coach, creating a coordinated approach focused on movement, nutrition and overall wellness (available at the Cheek-Powell and Carillon locations).
Every program begins with a conversation between you and your health care provider about safely incorporating physical activity into your care plan. Your provider will send us a referral and clear you for participation in one of our medical fitness services. Once we receive your referral, our wellness team—led by highly credentialed exercise physiologists—will conduct a comprehensive assessment and design a personalized program tailored to your health goals, fitness level and medical needs. Whether you’re just starting or continuing your wellness journey, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
