St. Joseph Hoag Health opens new Wellness Corner inside LA Fitness

The 1,000-square-foot facility is the first Wellness Corner in Orange County focused on muscular, joint and spinal health. This unique site offers natural, non-invasive therapies in one convenient location inside LA Fitness – including acupuncture, chiropractic care, physical therapy, bodywork and more – to promote healing, prevent injury and accelerate recovery.

"Spinal and muscular health is central to your well-being. Using natural methods, we can help rebalance, restore and revitalize your body to better health," said Jan Carlo Zegarra, DC, lead physical medicine provider for Wellness Corner at LA Fitness-Crossroads. "Partnering with our patients and their primary care teams, our providers will work together to achieve a common goal of optimal health and healing."

Dr. Zegarra is an expert in sports rehabilitation and performance, and has extensive experience with athletes including professionals in the NFL, NHL, MLB and UFC. Wellness Corner at LA Fitness-Crossroads is open to anyone in the community seeking to move and feel their best, with emphasis on helping athletes and weekend warriors achieve long-term performance goals and remain injury-free.

St. Joseph Hoag Health is committed to improving the health of our communities with a focus on convenience and prevention.

"Bringing health care to the places that are most accessible influences healthy behaviors, resulting in a healthier population," said Annette Buckel, vice president of wellness with St. Joseph Hoag Health. "Wellness Corners are a great example of population health solutions because they have helped our customers live a healthier lifestyle, including reductions in inactivity, obesity and stress. Adding physical medicine to our continuum of care makes available even more preventive services for the Orange County community. This has proven effective in optimizing health at our employer-based sites, and we are excited to introduce new services at Wellness Corner at LA Fitness-Crossroads."

This opening of this Wellness Corner reinforces local health innovation by bringing together two major health leaders headquartered in Irvine, Calif.

"At LA Fitness, we know that muscular, joint and spinal health and balance can be critical components of enjoying and maximizing the benefits of the many options of physical activity we offer in our clubs. Locating services within an LA Fitness club that focus on the wellbeing of these components, especially when provided by other high-quality Orange County wellness institutions such as St. Joseph Hoag Health, is a natural fit for all of us. We look forward to being part of this alignment," said Bill Horner Sr., vice president and chief real estate officer with LA Fitness.

A grand opening celebration is scheduled Monday, July 31 with presentations by St. Joseph Hoag Health providers 7-11 a.m. and 4-8 p.m. at the Wellness Corner at LA Fitness Irvine-Crossroads, 3960 Barranca Parkway.

Media tours of the Wellness Corner at LA Fitness-Crossroads are available upon request. To learn more or schedule an appointment, go to WellnessCornerCrossroads.com.
