Written on July 12, 2010
Saint Luke’s Brain and Stroke Institute has opened a second location for its Brain Fitness Center.
The new location is at the Jewish Community Center, 5801 W. 115th St., in Overland Park, and is a joint effort between Saint Luke’s South and the JCC. Saint Luke’s declined to reveal the amount of revenue gained from the new center, but spokeswoman Kerry O’Connor said the venture would produce a “modest” profit and wouldn’t cost Saint Luke’s any money to run.
The Brain Fitness Center helps people with conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease or age-related cognitive decline to improve their brain fitness. Sessions are $25 for two hours.
The new center was built to save some gym members from the commute to the other center at 4400 Broadway St cash advance loan. in Kansas City, O’Connor said.
Saint Luke’s opened its first Brain Fitness Center in August 2008 and serves between 75 and 100 gym members a year. Saint Luke’s officials estimate that the center will be able to double its membership with the new center.
Initially, two speech-language therapists will split their time between the two centers.
Saint Luke’s Health System ranks third on the Kansas City Business Journal’s list of top area private-sector employers, with 6,622 Kansas City-area employees.
