Our Wellness Medical Membership Programs
Regular physical exercise helps improve quality of life and overall health and can reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. It can also help prevent injuries, improve function post-surgery or injury and delay symptoms of some incurable conditions, like multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.
Did you know that our Wellness team offers three medical membership programs to help improve health outcomes? The programs vary based on a patient's health condition.
All community members (including employees) are eligible for these programs, pending a physician's referral. Talk with your physician to see if any of these programs might be a good fit for you, and about the new pricing for the program you're interested in.

Rock Steady
Our Wellness team recently launched the Rock Steady Boxing program for patients with Parkinson's disease. This program aims to improve the quality of life for people with Parkinson's disease through a non-contact boxing-based fitness curriculum.
Through the classes, participants will work on exercises to help improve gross motor movement, balance, core strength and rhythm. In Rock Steady, Parkinson's disease is the opponent.
Similar to the Medical Membership Programs, Rock Steady is available only through physician referral. The cost of the program is:
- $50 for the initial assessment plus
- Normal monthly membership dues with a 20% discount (individual membership would be $57.60/month)
Membership includes one Rock Steady Boxing class per week, plus access to all Carilion Wellness locations. Rock Steady is only available at our Roanoke location. For more information visit rocksteadyboxing.org.
