Welcome to Kourage Health

About KOURAGE HEALTH

Kourage Health prioritizes patients by improving the lives of those with chronic health conditions. We prescribe medical exercise as a vital part of our patients’ care plans, providing a host of benefits that improve physical function, boost the immune system, increase energy levels, and elevate spirits. Kourage Health’s medical exercise regimen helps patients build and maintain strength, endurance, and balance through the use of equipment like treadmills, ellipticals, hand weights, and balance balls. Ideally, patients receive a Kourage Health referral from their physician at the time of diagnosis to start medical exercise before or while undergoing treatment.
