Hollie Roberts had the program today. She introduced Deb Morton from the GCMC Physical Therapy department. Deb showed a video and spoke about the new AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill that will be coming to GCMC this month. The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill is a medical device that can be used for:

  • Rehabilitation of lower extremity injuries
  • Treatment of neurological conditions
  • Weight reduction
  • Aerobic conditioning
  • General training to combat the diseases of aging

 The AlterG anti-gravity treadmill which costs around $48,000 is the focus of the GCMC Foundation's Annual Campaign. Thanks to Hollie and Deb for a very interesting program!
