Lauren Threlkeld of Absolute Health recently joined the Free Range Conversations podcast to discuss rural wellness and her plans to open a primary care clinic in Rison by year's end.
To encourage accessible local activity, Threlkeld launched the Saturday Movement Club. The group meets Saturdays at 6:00 a.m. at 300 Pine Street for flexible 1-mile to multi-mile out-and-back routes, welcoming all fitness levels to walk, jog, or run.
The weekly meetups lead into the Fall into Fitness event on Oct. 10 during the Rison in the Fall Festival. Registration is $50 at RunSignUp.com and includes a t-shirt, swag bag, and entry into a 10-mile bike ride, 5K, or 1-mile family walk. Absolute Health and Rison Pharmacy will also host health stations during the festival.
The full podcast episode is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and ClevelandCountyHerald.com.
