Elevance Health Teams Up with the Impact Fitness Foundation to Support Irvington Preparatory Academy

The new facility eliminates the need for staff to drive students to public fitness centers for sports and physical education training.
The transformation included converting a storage room into a state-of-the-art training facility with new equipment for functional movement. Volunteers from Elevance Health and Indiana Fever players participated in the renovation. Following the unveiling, students and coaches attended a training clinic with IFF athletic trainers and Indiana Fever players to familiarize themselves with the new facility.

엘리반스 헬스는 임팩트 피트니스 재단(IFF)과 협력하여 어빙턴 준비 아카데미에 첫 번째 체중 훈련실과 피트니스 공간을 제공했습니다. 이 이니셔티브는 엘리반스 헬스의 건강 형평성 개선 및 사회 정의에 대한 약속의 일환입니다. 새로운 시설은 직원들이 학생들을 스포츠 및 체육 훈련을 위해 공공 피트니스 센터로 데려갈 필요를 없앱니다.
변형 과정에는 창고를 최첨단 훈련 시설로 개조하고 기능적 움직임을 위한 새로운 장비를 추가하는 것이 포함되었습니다. 엘리반스 헬스 자원봉사자들과 인디애나 피버 선수들이 개조에 참여했습니다. 공개 행사 후, 학생들과 코치들은 IFF 체육 트레이너 및 인디애나 피버 선수들과 함께 새로운 시설에 익숙해지기 위한 훈련 클리닉에 참석했습니다.

At Elevance Health, the strategy to become a lifetime trusted health partner is fueled by their purpose to improve the health of humanity, and making an impact in schools advances their commitment to address equity and social justice. Prior to today, Irvington Preparatory Academy staff were required to drive students to a fitness facility that is open to the general public for their sports and physical education training.
“We are grateful to Elevance Health and Impact Fitness Foundation for making our dream of a weight room a reality. This high-quality weight room will provide our female athletes, along with our entire student body, with a new and important resource,” said Joanna Wiggins, CAA Irvington Community Schools Athletic Director. “Many have not had the opportunity to train in any weight room or health center before. Access to this space will allow our athletes to train and improve performance and will enable us to increase fitness course offerings for all students. We deeply appreciate the support of Elevance Health and Impact Fitness Foundation in making this possible for Raven Nation."
Volunteers from Elevance Health were joined by Indiana Fever players and completely transformed a room used for storage and laundry into a state-of-the-art training facility, with new equipment and space for functional movement.
“In the most recent State of Play report, kids themselves point to sports and fitness as a way to improve their mental health, especially when it’s a good experience,” says Chris Welsh, Founder and President of the Impact Fitness Foundation. “Schools are in a unique position to support their students in this way, yet the importance of having dedicated fitness and movement spaces are rarely part of the conversation. We are thrilled to partner with a company like Elevance Health that believes in whole health and is invested in supporting schools that don’t have the resources they need.”
Following the unveiling of the space, students and coaches took part in a training clinic with athletic trainers from IFF and Indiana Fever players to help orient them to their new facility.
“As an organization with deep roots in our communities, we are committed to advancing health equity both nationally and locally,” said Kyle Weber, Chief Strategy Officer at Elevance Health. “Health equity intersects with many circumstances, including where you live. By providing a fitness space, students will have increased access to resources needed to optimize their physical health and impact their mental health.”
