Congressman Mike Kelly will receive an award from the YMCA of Greater Erie on May 27 at 2:30 p.m. for his bipartisan leadership advancing fitness, wellness, and community development initiatives.
Initiatives include:
The PHIT Act allows families and individuals to use pre-tax health savings account for fitness and wellness expenses. The Treat and Reduce Obesity Act would expand access to intensive lifestyle behavior programs and work to help Medicare beneficiaries to make chronic weight management medication more affordable.
