ROGERS — Only a couple of weeks after celebrating its first birthday, the Adult Wellness Center learned Thursday it had been selected from centers across the country as the winner of the Pinnacle Award.
“ We’re so happy, ” said Keri Wilkinson, director at the Adult Wellness Center. “ I just saw the contest on the Internet and wanted us to enter. I set that as a goal for us. I just didn’t know we would win our very first year. It’s wonderful, and we’re all thrilled. ”
According to its Web site, the NuStep Pinnacle Award is given to an organization that addresses the six dimensions of wellness — physical, social, emotional, spiritual, intellectual and vocational.
As the winner, the Wellness Center will be given a NuStep TRS 4000 Recumbent Cross Trainer.
Along with the new NuStep Cross Trainer, the center will be given the Pinnacle Award trophy later this month in Orlando, Fla.
“ And we’ll receive lots of national attention for the center and for Rogers, ” Wilkinson said. “ There will be lots of exposure in industry publications, too. It’s just a real honor for us. We couldn’t be happier. ”
