What is EIM?
Exercise is Medicine is a bridge between health care (your doctor) and the community (you). EIM is managed by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the American Medical Association (AMA). In 2007, EIM was co-launched as a United States-based health initiative.
"If exercise could be packed in a pill, it would be the single most widely prescribed and beneficial medicine in the nation."
—Robert N. Butler, M.D. Director, National Institute on Aging

Patient
EIM is a diligent focus on encouraging primary care physicians to include physical exercise in their patient treatment plans with the patient's healthcare plan covering the cost. Your healthcare provider can assess if you meet the U.S. National Physical Activity Guidelines and refer you to EIM Credentialed Exercise Programs and Exercise Professionals for physical activity and counseling.
Provider
Prescribing physical activity (PA) in the right “dosage” is a highly effective prescription for the prevention, treatment and management of more than 40 of the most common chronic health conditions encountered in clinical practice.
