In Maine since February 2004, Lyndsay is delighted to be the first non-therapist hired by her company, Occupational Health & Rehabilitation Inc. Starting on August 2, Lyndsay has been working tirelessly to prepare the State of Maine’s Eastside Wellness Center, which opened on September 8. She has been delighted with the positive response to date. Over 300 State employees signed up to use the fitness equipment during the first week of the Center’s operation! In addition, 15 State employees signed up for the first aerobics class. Physical therapy services are also offered at the Center. Lyndsay’s hopes are that employees will regularly use the Eastside Fitness Center to become stronger, and generally healthier. A healthier workforce can reduce health insurance premiums, lower workers compensation costs, and minimize or prevent workplace injuries. Previous to moving to Maine, Lyndsay worked at the Weight Management Center at the St. Charles General Hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana as an exercise physiologist. She earned a BS in Kinesiology from Louisiana State University, and an MSS in Sports Medicine from the US Sports Academy in Daphne, Alabama. She says "I love Maine", and "have already experienced one blizzard." "It is a wonderful change from my home town of New Orleans." Lyndsay plans to try all the snow sports this winter – skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling etc. Plan to drop by the Eastside Wellness Center, which is located on the AMHI campus behind the Marquardt Building, to personally welcome Lyndsay to Maine, and to tour the facility. It is first class! |
