Abstract

This case study describes the implementation of a wellness center based on the integration of a Navy outpatient physical therapy department and a morale, welfare, and recreation cardiovascular center. The logistics and services provided are discussed. The productivity of the physical therapy department based on the monthly number of patient treatments is assessed. A statistically significant increase in patient visits of 38% above the previous year was noted. The newly established cardiovascular center averaged 1,500 client visits monthly. This unique collaboration appears to hold promise as an effective wellness center concept.
