An Act relative to medical health and fitness facilities

This bill establishes standards for facilities seeking certification as "Medical Health and Fitness Facilities" (MHFF) in Massachusetts. It directly affects fitness facilities that want to operate with medical services, requiring them to implement specific safety protocols, staffing qualifications, cleaning procedures, and air quality systems. Key provisions include mandatory medical assessments for members, a Medical Advisory Board with a licensed physician, certified staff positions, EPA-approved disinfection schedules, and mandatory installation of special air-cleaning units that reduce pathogens by 90% in air and 95% on surfaces. Facilities must apply to the Department of Public Health for certification, which lasts 24 months and requires compliance with all outlined safety and operational standards.
