AdventHealth – Castle Rock, Colorado … Following AdventHealth’s mission to help team members, guests, and patients Feel Whole, AdventHealth Castle Rock officially opened the Pittman Pathway Wellness Trail with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
Located on a 10-acre site in the southeast corner of the hospital campus on Limelight Avenue, this publicly accessible quarter-mile trail was made possible through generous contributions to the AdventHealth Castle Rock Foundation and was completed earlier this summer.
The trail includes several pieces of outdoor workout equipment, an incline, and useful health tips along the path.
“This initiative serves as an outreach to the community for health and wellness,” said Executive Chef and Manager at AdventHealth’s Manna Restaurant, Dan Skay who came up with the idea. “The community can walk the trail or guests and patients can come out here to get away for a little bit.”
The wellness trail is named after former AdventHealth Castle Rock CEO and current Rocky Mountain Region Chief Financial Officer, Jeremy Pittman.
“From the very beginning, we’ve had this vision for AdventHealth Castle Rock to be a place of healing not only when you’re sick, but when you’re well,” said Jeremy. “How do we better invite the community in and create this connection where a hospital isn’t a scary place. This is one more step in that direction.”
Team members and community supporters attended the ribbon cutting including AdventHealth Castle Rock CEO, Michelle Fuentes, who had the opportunity to dedicate the trail to her longtime friend.
“I have had the opportunity to know Jeremy for a very long time, and I know that he absolutely adores this hospital and that he is 100% committed to the work that we’re doing here,” said Michelle. “To dedicate something like this for my friend is a real honor.”
The primary goal of the trail is to embody AdventHealth’s C.R.E.A.T.I.O.N. life principles (Choice, Rest, Environment, Activity, Trust in God, Interpersonal Relationships, Outlook, Nutrition), serving as a resource for those seeking healthier, more fulfilling lives based on a whole-person health philosophy.
The creation of this trail will allow AdventHealth Castle Rock to create a deeper connection with the community as they continue the mission of “Extending the Healing Ministry of Christ.”
“I always say, it’s the people in this community who make it amazing, and I am so humbled and honored to be a part of spreading whole-person care with this trail,” said Jeremy.
