The North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System (NF/SG VHS) is proud to announce the establishment of new accessible fitness equipment at the Malcom Randall VAMC located at 1601 SW


Archer Rd, Gainesville, FL 32608. On Nov. 1, 2024, Greenfields Outdoor Fitness equipment became available to all Veterans, their caregivers, and employees. The equipment is designed to be


accessible for individuals of all ages and fitness levels, and it is constructed from environmentally sustainable materials, ensuring both durability and enhanced user safety, making it an


ideal addition to our organization. Janice Cornett, the Employee Whole Health Coordinator for NF/SG VHS explained, “The connection between physical activity and mental health has been well


established, this equipment will allow Veterans, caregivers and employees to engage in physical activity in a natural setting and by doing so can improve their mental health, reduce stress


and increase their physical strength.” “Whole health is the VA’s approach to care that supports health and well-being. This new fitness equipment is part of that approach to care,” Cornett


said. For more information on the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center, please visit https://www.va.gov/north-florida-health-care/locations/malcom-randall-d….
