This will be the 1st Wellness/Fitness Center to be constructed on Pohnpei to help with prevention and rehabilitation against non-communicable diseases. 

Lifestyle diseases are silently killing the Micronesians. Because of the great need for lifestyle education, MAHI International is in the beginning stages of establishing the first MAHI Wellness Center on the island of Pohnpei.  This Wellness Center will be used to encourage the people of Pohnpei by providing a place for healthy lifestyle development.   The MAHI Wellness Center will focus on educating the local people about nutrition, exercise, and healthful living habits.  The Wellness Center will have three main functions:  First, it will serve as a lifestyle education center for those who need personalized lifestyle training.  Second, it will serve the community as a full fitness gym providing the members with individual fitness programs.  The third function will be a rehabilitation program that will focus on individuals that need physical therapy.  It is the purpose of the MAHI Wellness Center to make a positive impact on the Micronesian lifestyle.
