YMCA, Hospital Facility = RT Opportunity?
In today's Indianapolis Star there is an article titled "YMCA, hospital plan Avon facility." The YMCA official termed it "a one-stop-shopping health-care facility with comprehensive health care under one roof." It is planned for Avon, Indiana, just outside of Indianapolis.
The facility is projected to have an indoor aquatics center, wellness center, dance/aerobics studio, gym, teen center, indoor climbing wall, outdoor sports fields, walking trails, and an outdoor education center. It is anticipated the center will focus on serving youth.
Reading about this planned facility made me think about how RTs might be the ideal staff. Afterall, RTs deal with the entire health care continuum from near death at one end to high level wellness at the other. It would make sense for RTs to take the lead at a health care facility that had both rehabilitation and health promotion programs.
Does anyone know of other instances where RTs are involved with a "one-stop" health care facility?
