Chamber Lunch - St. Joe's
Today's Guest Speaker will be Jim Peaker, Area Director, Rehabilitation Services for St. Joseph Health. St. Joseph is only one of two hospitals in all of Northern California to offer a robust variety of free and low cost exercise and rehabilitation programs for our community. Thanks to the generous donation from Harry and Janie Hardin and the Community Benefit program, the Rehabilitation Center will have upwards of 10 hours of classes a week for those living with Parkinson’s.
The Rock Steady Boxing program will be led by trained coaches, and involve exercises, including: stretching, running, jump-roping, push-ups, balancing, and lots of non-contact boxing. Academic institutions, such as University of Indianapolis and Butler University, are reporting and documenting the improved quality of life among Rock Steady Boxers and while discovery of a cure may be many years away, there is evidence that progress is made by those participating in the RSB program, regardless of the stages of the disease.
