At Lutheran Community at Telford, fitness and fun are one of the pillars of healthy living. This year, join us for the 12 days of FITmas Challenge by participating in consecutive days of activities to help you stay active and mindful during the holiday season. This program is spearheaded by our new Fitness & Wellness Coordinator, Kayla Jurimas, who says,
“As the Fitness and Wellness Coordinator here at the Lutheran Community at Telford, I have the opportunity to work with residents in all levels of care to enhance the vibrancy and quality of life through physical activity, wellness, and fellowship.“
