Life in Balance

Living with diabetes doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a normal, productive lifestyle. At Clark Memorial’s Diabetes Center, we’re dedicated to helping diabetic patients thrive by providing the most advanced treatments available and the education to help them better manage their conditions.

We diagnose and treat both juvenile- and adult-onset diabetes, and we have the unique advantage of being located in a state-of-the-art fitness facility. Because diabetes can lead to coronary conditions like heart disease, our doctors and staff specialize in helping patients develop healthy diet and exercise habits. And to help them cope with the everyday challenges of the condition, we offer classes and support groups for patients and their families.

The Lois A. Kratz Health and Wellness Center

Because staying fit is key to staying healthy, Clark Memorial opened the Lois A. Kratz Health and Wellness Center. We’re a state-of-the-art facility offering cardiovascular, weight-bearing, non-weight-bearing and resistance training. We have certified fitness trainers on staff to help.

The Lois A. Kratz Health and Wellness Center is available to anyone, regardless of fitness level or current health status. We offer a wide array of classes and fitness programs for patients suffering from arthritis, diabetes and other health conditions, and patients recovering from surgery are welcome. We even have certified fitness trainers on staff who will work alongside you to help you set and reach your individual fitness goals.

Membership is $30 per month and includes body fat analysis, weight checks, a health assessment interview and initial exercise program. Shower facilities and lockers are available free to members.

If you would like to tour the facility or meet with one of our certified fitness experts, call (812) 283-2600.
