Monarch Health & Fitness focuses on people with risks for diabetes, people who have diabetes and/or people with chronic kidney disease. As a Registered Dietitian, I worked in a Kidney Dialysis Center for the past 9 years. In that time, I saw the devastation end stage kidney disease can have on the individual with the disease and their friends and family.
Since Diabetes is the greatest risk factor for chronic kidney disease, my mission in opening Monarch Health & Fitness is to help individuals from getting diabetes and manage individuals already diagnosed, so kidney disease is not the end result.
I am starting both Diabetes Prevention Programs and Diabetes Management Programs. These are long term programs and individuals have to commit to participating for the full term of the program.
I also am a Medicare provider for people with diabetes or chronic kidney disease, not on dialysis.
Monarch Health & Fitness also has an exercise area where we have group classes. These classes accomodate both high or low impact abilities. Silver Sneakers or Healthways participants are welcome and their insurance benefits are honored.
