You, Your Club and the FJMC Wellness Program

Introduction

 
FJMC Past President Bob Braitman and Health and Wellness Co-Chairs Paul Davidson and Jake Sheff  have challenged the men of our community to commit to improving their health. The initial stage of this effort will focus on weight, nutrition and exercise.  

 Goals
  • To increase awareness of health and wellness issues by the men of our communities
  • To encourage Men’s Clubs to adopt wellness programming as an integral part of their mission
  • To add visibility and vitality to Men’s Club programming on a local level
  • To create another “portal of entry” for men otherwise not involved to play an active role in their Men’s Club
 

Implementation Plan

  • Bi-monthly Newsletters
  • Interactive section on Wellness section of FJMC.ORG
  • New Wellness “tip” on website each month
  • Clubs will include healthy options in all food served at events. See the Recipes and Menus  page. 
  • Regional Leaders will reach out to clubs to encourage participation
  • Regions to review menus for their upcoming Retreats. See the Recipes and Menus page.
  • Hearing Men’s Voices Programs
  • Biennial Convention program to include wellness and a celebration of club and regional accomplishments 
  • Ensure healthy diet options at Convention and LDI

Drs. Heather and Mitch Ross have established the Ross Health & Wellness Fund at the FJMC Foundation for Jewish Life to address the unique physical and mental health challenges faced by men. Click here for more information about the Fund and how to apply for a grant.
