Merrick Medical Center Community Wellness

Your health is about more than being in a hospital or visiting a doctor for a yearly check-up. What you do every day impacts your health. Often it’s hard to know the right thing to do, or to find the support to do it consistently. We can help you through our community-based health and wellness services. These services extend beyond our hospital walls and offer a more comprehensive approach to your health. It’s our commitment to you and your family to encourage and inspire healthy lives now and for generations to come.

Diabetes Support

Support for diabetes takes place at the Merrick County Sr. Center on the first and third Wednesdays of the month. This support is facilitated by a registered nurse and a registered dietician who are also certified in lifestyle coaching. Join us for support and tips to improve your health. To learn more, please contact Tanya Kier, RN or Cameron Hucke, RD at 308-946-3015.

Tai Chi

Merrick Medical Center is proud to offer Tai Chi classes to our community. Four certified Tai Chi instructors offer classes at various times throughout the year. Each session lasts about 12 weeks. This low impact, relaxing form of exercise can help to reduce stress, improve balance and stability, and improve body and leg strength. For more information on upcoming classes and cost, please call Maryjo Gallion at 308-946-3015.
