通过鼓励教师, staff and students to work together to improve health and well-being in their campus communities, the Exercise is Medicine initiative seeks to make movement a part of the daily campus culture, 在每次学生健康访问中评估身体活动, provide students with tools to strengthen healthy physical activity habits and connect health care providers with health fitness specialists to offer a referral system for exercise prescription.

通过签署宣言, Northwest joined about 200 colleges and universities throughout the world as a registered Exercise is Medicine campus.
“It’s important to challenge our colleagues and to educate our colleagues on the importance of exercise and what it can do for us day in and 一天,塔图姆说. “So I’m very pleased to put my signature to the proclamation because I think of this as something that we should really get behind. Participating in exercise is something that not only just improves your general outlook on life, but it also has a great impact on how you feel and what we do to stay active through our daily life.”

Dr. 蒂娜·普利是和记棋牌娱乐的校友，她加入了 健康科学与健康学院 去年的教职员工, has been associated with Exercise is Medicine almost since the American College of Sports Medicine established it in 2007 to inform and educate physicians and other health care providers about exercise. 该倡议, 她说, aligns well with Northwest’s mission of focusing on student success – every student, every day – and helping students develop knowledge and skills through profession-based learning.
“和记棋牌娱乐以自己独特的方式激活‘运动就是医学’, 所以每个大学校园的情况都不一样,滑轮说, adding that one of the goals at Northwest is to help students graduate in better health than when they arrived at the University and help them become knowledgeable, 积极提倡定期体育锻炼.

Dr. 特里长
此外,博士. 特里长, 健康科学与健康学院院长, noted that Exercise is Medicine aligns with other work taking place at Northwest to build a culture of well-being. 另外, the University is securing support for a complete renovation of Martindale Hall to enhance health science and wellness programs.
“The lifeblood of culture really comes from a shared commitment to certain values and traditions,朗说. “Sometimes they’re building new traditions and then committing to those values as a group, making it part of our culture at the way we think and the way we connect to one another. The support and enthusiasm that I’ve seen for the Exercise is Medicine On Campus initiative is a sign of how that culture is growing and coming to fruition more and more on a daily basis.”
作为计划的一部分, Northwest Exercise is Medicine leaders are planning several upcoming activities, 包括“与医生同行”,“周三中午开始的一英里步行, 10月. 18、在金色池塘.

“The point here is not just to sign the proclamation but to show some activity, 去参与，去参与,塔图姆说. “当我和体育老师谈论这个问题时, it’s kind of like preaching to the choir; they’re usually fairly active in what they do day in, 一天. So I’m really speaking to those of us who spend a lot of our time sitting behind a desk, 看电脑屏幕, 回复邮件或在小组中发言. It’s important for us to go ahead and begin to take the action that we need to be active.”
