TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - A new wellness center concept: integration of the physical therapy and the morale, welfare, and recreation departments JO - Military medicine A1 - Woodhead, A. B. SP - 307 EP - 309 VL - 163 IS - 5 N2 - 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.
