We had a delightful and unexpected surprise today. When we went to the gym, the receptionist asked Steve if he had his Silver Sneakers card with him. They had just learned this morning that they could begin accepting Silver Sneakers effective immediately. And Steve got to be the first! This is a bit of a triumph for the Jackson County Recreation Center and for us. Working with Rusty Ellis, the director, we helped create the ground swell of interest and series of telephone calls that convinced Healthways to consider the two applications that JCRC had submitted and to approve it as a Silver Sneakers location. For those of you not in the know Silver Sneakers is a program offered through some Medicare supplement programs and serves as a gym membership at approved locations. It’s one of the perks of being an “old fart”. To all of our friends who made phone calls, thank you so very much, your effort paid off!
