FSB gives $10,000 to Laconia’s Community Wellness Center

FRANKLIN — Franklin Savings Bank granted $10,000 to Community Wellness Center to support the cost of roof repairs for the Center. This money will ensure continued availability of the fitness and exercise facility for seniors, special need, cardiac and pulmonary patients, and others who require medical supervision in a safe environment.

The Community Wellness Center started as a post cardiac rehabilitation program in 1989 and has since developed into a medically supervised exercise program focusing on senior fitness. The elderly population in the Lakes Region has increased, and so the center would like to increase the availability of medically supervised exercise options in the area. In order to accomplish this, the roof at the facility will need to be replaced.

“Having access to safe exercise programs and equipment when we are older is critical for our overall health, wellness and longevity,” said FSB President & CEO Brian Bozak. “We are happy to provide grant funding to the Community Wellness Center so that they can repair their roof and expand their services to more elderly individuals in the Lakes Region.”
