The Vidant Wellness Center is an integral part of the Vidant community! It goes without being said that the decision to close the gym is devastating and quite frankly, unacceptable. Prior to COVID altering everyone's normal routines, there were over 8000 members. These are 8000 members that have depended on the Wellness Center for their individual wellbeing.Please help us speak up against the closure of the Vidant Wellness Center.

Please reconsider permanent closure. Consider increasing membership dues or reducing operating hours and/or some programs to keep the doors open. Don’t understand how Ahoskie and Washington locations can remain open, but not Greenville.

Vidant needs to lay off of the giant bonuses for the CEOs and President and invest into it's community and the staff that actually keeps the hospital and gym running. Quit making everyone else suffer for executive greed. Save the wellness center!

As a person with disabilities I am really saddened to see that the wellness center is going to close. The center is a vital part of the community and provides much needed services for local residents. The center needs to stay open at all costs.

I am a PGY1 starting this July and the Wellness Center was one of the factors in my choice to work at Vidant. It offers excellent opportunities and services for employees and the community. It would be terrible for many people if this resource were to be stripped away.

This facility is so much more than just a gym. It is a child care facility, a rehabilitation center, a place for senior citizens to exercise and stay healthy, and so much more to benefit health and nutritional values. Please don’t take this away from our community.

I love the wellness center. Taking my 2’toddlers to the child care center was amazing for me to be able to utilize the classes and them have fun as well. They looked forward to going too! Please don’t close it is vital to all our mental health.

Pitt County needs this wellness center to be open and available to its former members. It has been a vital part of keeping people healthy. As a breast CA survivor, the Vidant wellness center provided many programs to help with people going through their own health challenges. I hope things will change and it will find a way to open again soon.

So many in the community and surrounding region--especially seniors and those with fisabilities--badly need the services of the Vidant Wellness Center. Especially now.
