About MedHealthFit
A leader in the medical fitness and healthcare space, we have positioned our company to change health care in the coming years by putting persons with chronic disease where they belong – in the wellness setting. We also haven't forgotten about the human element. Our main goal is to make the lives of patients better through exercise and wellness, and to give health professionals better tools to make their jobs easier.
Eric Durak, Founder
Eric Durak began his career in fitness. He was fortunate enough to work with some of the top medical researchers in diabetes care, and started Medhealthfit in the early 1990s. After a 17-year career at the University of California, he has returned “to his roots” and is continuing to test the limits of the wellness industry by forming alliances with technology, insurance, marketing, and medical fitness.
His latest ventures include software development with Welld Health, co-founder of Fitness is Medicine, affiliate with Perform Lab (blood chemistry company) Strategic Partner in Life Core Group (Aviator health care coaching program). Our Private Health Association (PHA) is groundbreaking in that it will change the business structure for thousands of health clubs and wellness centers allowing them to contract in the private sector. Eric continues to produce education, podcasts, and award-winning online television shows through TV Santa Barbara and You Tube.
