An Act relative to medical health and fitness facilities

This bill creates a new certification program for wellness centers in Massachusetts, designating them as "Medical Health and Fitness Facilities" if they meet specific safety and operational standards. To receive this certification, facilities must employ qualified medical staff, including a licensed physician and a fitness director, and implement rigorous protocols for hygiene, emergency response, and member health assessments. The legislation also mandates the installation of specific air purification technology and requires all staff to complete CPR and AED training. The Department of Public Health will be responsible for reviewing applications and issuing certificates that are valid for two years, ensuring facilities adhere to these new requirements.
