ProCare has been Tyrone Hospital s rehabilitation provider for more than 8 years. Their successful track record in the fitness and wellness realm will be a great complement to Tyrone Hospital for our new initiatives related to health and wellness. Plans are to offer programs to address various aspects of health including programs for physical activity and fitness, injury prevention, health and functional assessments, nutrition and health education. We intend to offer all of these programs to our local businesses and industry so they can work to improve the health of their employees and their employee s families. A healthier workforce will keep long term health insurance costs down. We are all facing significant increases in health insurance over the next few years.
