How Exercise and Fitness Can Save Your Life

Dean Arnett has experienced a multitude of health issues starting in 2003, including leukemia, two heart attacks, a quadruple bypass operation and a cancerous throat and tongue lesion. Through his care at Ochsner and his membership at Ochsner Fitness Center, Dean is able to positively contribute to his health and his future. He credits his success to staying active with exercise and utilizing OFC’s many amenities. "I am alive today because I do come here. I come here five days a week, six times a week sometimes, if not everyday, and I am hoping to belong to the club for a long time." Dean enjoys spending time with his friends, family and new grandson, and plans to be here for a long time thanks to his exercise and fitness.
