“We are excited to collaborate with New Haven Parks & Recreation for the RediMed 4 Wellness Summer Series this year,” said Matt Lehn, COO, RediMed. “It makes sense to support wellness activities that nurture good health and prevention. We encourage families to get active together.”
Lehn added that supporting this area-wide wellness series for people of all ages complements the healthcare services available at RediMed’s clinic in Lutheran Health Plaza.
