Since 1993 Medical Health & Fitness has been in the business of integrating healthcare with wellness. We’ve done this through education, research, publications, speaking, and developing relationships. MH&F Founder and President Eric Durak is at the forefront of clinical exercise, research, and education since he graduated from the University of Michigan in 1986. He has worked at Sansum Diabetes Institute, and developed the award-winning Cancer Wellness program in 1994. The author of over 20 books – including the industry best-selling Insurance Reimbusement Book for Health Professionals, Eric has written for scores of health magazines, internet sites, and spoken at over 175 industry conferences and workshops. His current CV is listed here.
MH&F has produced the top clinical education courses in the industry – including Cancer Wellness (cancer rehab certification), Exercise Medicine (post rehab certification), Wellness @ Home (home healthcare certification), and Working Well (employee health certification) with the Care for Health (www.careforhealth.com) company. We offer CEUs and are accredited through nursing associations as a healthcare provider.
As a leading edge research company – we have produced studies for some of the leading health companies in the US, including the Balance Bar Company (www.balancebar.com), and recently reporting on two health studies on fatigue with the FRS Sports Nutrition Company (https://secure.frs.com/freetrial/010804/how.aspx?cid=0&mid=0&uid=0&jid=00 ). |
