"Mercy Medical Center in Canton also has been promoting walking groups, on-site exercise classes and weight-loss programs, more healthful options in the cafeteria, an annual health fair, disease management programs and other initiatives for healthy lifestyles, Chief Operating Officer Jeff Smith said.
The hospital hired a full-time health and wellness manager two years ago to coordinate the efforts.
Within the next two months, the hospital also will be offering an on-site fitness center on the main campus for 2,500 employees to use free.
