Bradford’s Exercise is Medicine on Campus program honored

The American College of Sports Medicine has recognized Pitt-Bradford’s Exercise is Medicine on Campus program as a Gold campus under the leadership of Mark Kelley, assistant professor and director of the Exercise Science Program.

Exercise is Medicine on Campus calls upon universities and colleges to promote physical activity as a vital sign of health and encourages faculty, staff and students to work together toward improving the health and well-being of the campus community.

Pitt-Bradford has implemented the Physical Activity Vital Sign, created a referral system between Health Services and the Exercise Science program, and held the fourth annual Exercise is Medicine on Campus week in October. Other activities include educational sessions for students about the importance of physical activity and numerous health assessments throughout the year.
