Community Outreach Program Launches

In an effort to promote community and individual health and wellness Drs. Christy and Derek Fischer of Fischer Family Chiropractic, Minnetonka have launched a Community Outreach Program dedicated to educating and creating awareness within the community about overall health and wellness.

“I was looking for a way to spread the word about the benefits of health and wellness,” said Dr. Fischer.  There
is so much media attention for ‘this pill’ and ‘that surgery’ but we commonly overlook the benefits of prevention and the power of the body in maintaining overall heath.”

The program, which is designed to reduce stress, and increase productivity, motivation and energy levels, will offer several complimentary educational programs to local businesses and community organizations for their employees and members.  “We can customize our
workshops to address nearly any health issue that may be of interest although our 6 Steps to Tune up Your Health, Through a Parent’s Eyes and Get a Grip on Stress are proving to be extremely popular,” said Dr. Derek Fischer.

In addition to the educational seminar format, Fischer Family Chiropractic has incorporated an energy break into the program.  Take Five! Offers a 5-minute pressure point massage and an opportunity for attendees to ask health related questions and receive tips and information on
various health issues.  “We conduct this program onsite at a business for their employees or for an organization’s
members during meetings and community events.  The format of Take Five! allows participation by employees during their break time.  They come away feeling energized and companies benefit by increased performance with no time lost on the job!  It actually makes a great reward for employees after completing a special project or for an organization after a particularly busy event,” added Fischer.

Studies have shown that the heath benefits and wellness programs offered by companies and organizations influence the heath decisions made by their employees and members and, in turn their overall health status.  “I strongly believe the heath of a community directly relates to the health of its residents,” says Dr. Derek Fischer.  “A healthy community is going to be prosperous, strong and safe for us and our children.”

principle that overall health is a product of regular care and healthy lifestyle choices.
