What you’ll learn: As more departments recognize the need for proactive, comprehensive firefighter health programs, some leaders are taking the next step — building dedicated wellness centers designed to support every aspect of firefighter care. In this FireRescue1 webinar, fire service leaders will share how their departments turned the idea of firefighter wellness centers into reality. From gaining buy-in and funding to selecting locations and prioritizing features, the chiefs will detail the full process of opening their facilities, including a variety of key topics:
- How to get your wellness center project off the ground
- The difference between a wellness center, a clinic and a fitness facility
- Key features that make a wellness center effective
- Lessons learned — do’s and don’ts when designing or retrofitting a space
- Funding models and creative approaches to sustainment
- Practical guidance on space needs, staffing, relationships and program longevity
Why attend: Whether your department is in the early planning stages or already developing a wellness facility, this session will provide actionable advice, tested models and lessons learned from leaders who’ve built centers that work. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how to design a sustainable program that promotes tailored care, trust and improved firefighter wellness year-round.
