SUCCESS! For 35 years Dr. Verhaag dedicated
his life to changing the lives of his patients. “It was a gift from a patient that changed my life.” Dr, Verhaag had a history of obesity and arthritis that limited his mobility. “As my weight increased, my fatigue after a full day of work made me feel any type of exercise program would be impossible” The gift that Dr. Verhaag received was a one month membership to Roseville Health & Wellness Center. “My trainer devised a great program for me taking into account my joint (shoulders, knee and hip) issues. I made the commitment to myself and my family to improve my health. I have lost 60 lbs. thus far and have significant increase in energy. During this process I have undergone joint replacement surgery and have marked improvement in my mobility.” Physicians have demanding jobs and it’s not uncommon for them to neglect their own health. Dr. Verhaag is an example of someone who recommended lifestyle changes for his patients while neglecting his own health. “I finally follow my own advice after being given the gift of health from a patient who cared enough to want me to see the results she experienced herself at RHWC. I move easier, have more energy and as a result am truly enjoying my family and retirement.” Don’t delay the opportunity to experience a lifestyle change for yourself, call RHWC today or visit us online at www.rosevillehwc.com for more information.
Gift of Health!
