March 2, 2015 - The Operation Fight for a Fitter Fort (OPF4) program will be part of the upcoming Fort Wayne Medical Society Alliance’s Doctor’s Day event on Saturday, March 7.

OPF4 team members will be at Science Central, 1950 N. Clinton St., from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

This year’s Doctor’s Day marks the 20th year for the event. Mayor Tom Henry is scheduled to provide opening remarks as part of the celebration.

OPF4 and Summit City Bicycles and Fitness are partnering on an interactive exhibit, “Energy Creates Power.” Visitors will be able to use stationary bikes that will be linked to a computer to calculate watts generated through movement. Participants can enter a drawing for a prize for most watts generated in a fixed period of time. 

In addition, OPF4 team members will have tips on healthy recipes and snacks.

OPF4 is a community wellness initiative to encourage individuals to implement lifestyle changes that include fitness, nutrition, wellness, and activities. OPF4’s mission is for residents to lose a collective 500,000 pounds by the end of 2016. To date, nearly 1,000 individuals have signed up to participate. To learn more about OPF4, visit www.OPF4.com.
