Faculty and staff at PCOM South Georgia united to support the creation of an on-campus fitness trail, recognizing the vital connection between wellness and academic success. The trail was constructed just outside the Colquitt Connector, providing students, faculty, and staff with a peaceful and accessible space to recharge between classes and meetings.
Robert Lloyd, DO ‘91, Dean, PCOM South Georgia Osteopathic Medicine Program, spearheaded the fundraising effort. “We recognized that student wellness and fitness are critical to a student’s success, personal health, and for the prevention of student burnout,” he says. Future plans for the trail include enhancements such as benches, picnic tables, and outdoor fitness equipment, ensuring that it remains a cornerstone of the campus environment.
