Health Care Incentive Program (HCIP)
We offer a prescription exercise program for our people on both the Cattaraugus and Allegany territories. At both locations our exercise facilities are located in the Wellness Centers and are available by appointment to people who have been referred by
a medical provider at one of our health centers. Our program is designed to be “need  based”, and fitness sessions vary for each individual. Our clients range from small children to elders and our sessions incorporate health assessments, cardiovascular training, strength training, functional training, flexibility training and core training. We offer our clients a wide variety of equipment including Exercise
Balls, Stationary Bikes (Recumbent), Tread Mills, Weights, Exercise Bands, Video Game Bikes, Ellipticals, Nu  Steps, Free Weights, Medicine Balls, Stair Steppers, Pulley Weights, Core Equipment, and Dance games for youth. We even offer satellite television so you don’t have to miss your favorite show while you work out.
 
We also offer group classes that are available without prescription. Many of these classes have been very successful and will become part of our yearly program.  At our Cattaraugus location we have also started to offer a summer youth program for ages 6-12.

 We focus on demonstrating proper exercises, physical activity games and nutrition. Many of our youth seem to enjoy their new found knowledge and they liked trying the healthy snacks provided.

Routine exercise not only benefits our clients physical health but it also improves mental health and happiness.
 
Exercising causes the body to release endorphins that stimulate the brain and produce a lighter more cheerful attitude. So if you feel down and lacking energy, the best thing you can do is exercise.
 
Many of our clients have made great progress in their weight reduction plans and their quality of health. We have opened many people up to new things they otherwise would not have thought of trying. A lot of those new things end up becoming the clients favorite aspect of the training and what they get the most benefit out of.
 

So if you are thinking of starting an exercise plan, we have trained professionals and proper equipment waiting here for you. Just mention you interest to your health care provider at your next visit, they can give you a referral to see one of our exercise specialists at the site that is most convenient for you.
