Residents Speak Out About Weekday Exercise!


Marishtill's weekday exercise group is for residents of our long-term care units, and is the result of a safety grant from Covenant Health Systems. The program has been very popular and also very effective.
 
“It tires me," says Sr. Marie Therese Douillard (pictured at right). "But I think that’s because it’s working!”
 
Other residents agree... "“It gets me going,” Helen Kupris, pictured at left, said. 
 
While some residents speak positively abut the social interaction and explain they simply enjoy the camaraderie among participants, others say the activity makes them feel more alert.
 
The weights sessions began at the start of the year. For additional information please visit our website, www.maristhill.org.
