Mercy Health &

Fitness
Classes
An integral part of projects by the
Lorain County Metro Parks are
the partnerships formed within
the community. Through these
partnerships, residents are able to
take advantage of several recreational
and cultural offerings around
Lorain County. The Mercy Health &
Recreation Center is no exception and
includes partnerships with several
local organizations in order to better
serve the area residents.
Throughout the country, hospitals
and park systems have collaborated
to build and operate facilities. This
is done to fully utilize space and
equipment. Recreation centers are
often busiest in the early morning
before 8 a.m. and in the evenings
after 5 p.m. and on the weekends.
The down time in a recreation center
is between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Health
providers operate between these
hours. Therefore, the marriage of
these organizations to share space
and equipment allows for greater
utilization and cost effectiveness.

With services provided by both
organizations, this facility will be
a one stop shop for many as they

from medical procedures. Both
organizations will offer educational
programming about health and
wellness for visitors.
