The Healthcare & Fitness Integration Track & Summit, produced by the Club Industry Show, provides educational content highlighting the growing opportunity in partnership between the healthcare and health club industries. This first-of-its-kind event will host expert speakers from both industries. Through this partnership, physicians can serve their patients more effectively through referrals to health clubs, while health club operators can increase their membership base and improve the health of the physician’s patients and their members, all while creating new, alternative revenue streams for both groups.
