Local 22’s Health Plan strives to provide our members and their dependents the best available Health Care for the funding provided under our current Arbitration Award. The Health Plan provides programs to assist our members in obtaining the highest quality care available during their times of need. Local 22’s Health Plan has worked on developing programs to keep our members healthy, guide our members in establishing healthy lifestyles and work on getting in shape both mentally and physically. We have partnered with Blue Cross, Aetna, VBA, Benecard, Guardian Nurses, Mental Health Consultants, MD LIVE and Philly Fire’s Motivated Fitness to supply our members with the care and services they need and deserve.
We are proud to have recently added Philly Fire’s Motivated Fitness as part of the Local 22 Health Plan Family. Since introducing Philly Fire’s Motivated Fitness in 2016 the program has grown from a couple trainers with a few participants to the current 30 trainers with over 500 participants.
Philly Fire’s Motivated Fitness is dedicated to Local 22 and the Philadelphia Fire Department member’s health and well-being. The program includes a group of certified motivated personal fitness trainers, all of whom are firefighters and paramedics, whose main objective is to bring a healthy lifestyle to our membership. This is accomplished through personal one on one, small group fitness programs, and nutrition education. The goal of the trainers is to provide our members with not only strength and physical conditioning but also the nutritional knowledge to lead a healthier well balanced life.
