Sparrow Eaton Hospital’s Health Management Program

The Health Management program at Sparrow Eaton Hospital helps patients in the community better manage chronic disease, prevent illness and improve overall health with tailored exercise plans. Through at-home workout plans and weekly group sessions, trained exercise physiologists engage and educate patients on how to be more active in a way that suits their lifestyle and health goals. On average, those who participate in the program increase their weekly physical activity by over an hour – and nearly half of surveyed participants reported improvements to their chronic condition. 

“The Health Management program has helped me lower my blood pressure down to normal levels, reduce my stress and be able to enjoy recreational activities again,” said Bill Spalding, a program participant. 

Eileen Feighner, another participant, also benefited from the program. “I would recommend Health Management to anyone who wants to safely regain strength post-physical therapy,” said Feighner. “The community in the small group class makes it fun as we work on our individual goals.”
