"The Member of the Year Awards is an annual celebration of our
inspiring members and each year, we hear stories about how

friendships, enabled members to return to activities they enjoy
following a health crisis and more," said Richard Ashworth, president and CEO of Tivity

witness the impact healthy lifestyles and SilverSneakers can
deliver on our members' lives. We are honored and motivated by
these remarkable stories and proud to spotlight these
SilverSneakers members."
