Objective
The Active Health Clinic (AHC), located at the Stanley Ho Sports Centre, was established by the Institute of Human Performance to work with individuals who suffer from or are at risk of developing, inactivity related chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, hypertension, and osteoporosis. One of our objectives is to build strong partnerships with the medical community in order to cooperatively build a supportive network system for exercise which can be effective in terms of promoting more regular physical activity and better health outcomes amongst those people referred to the Clinic. The Active Health Clinic will serve as a hub for clinicians, exercise specialists and other allied health professionals who are interested in promoting health and physical activity to all special populations.
Mission Statement
Our mission at AHC is to promote healthy and active lifestyles through proactive screening, assessments, education, and tailor-made health and fitness programming - thereby providing individuals with the information they need to make healthy lifestyle choices; plus the tools, guidance, and encouragement they need to achieve their personal, optimal health through regular physical activity.
We strongly believe that Physical Activity is the Medicine of Life!
