Director named for GSMC fitness institute

By Mike Elswick | Thursday, May 15, 2008, 04:41 PM

Good Shepherd Medical Center on Thursday afternoon announced the appointment of Paul Elsass as director of the Good Shepherd Institute for Healthy Living.

A Texas native, Elsass has more than 20 years of health fitness experience, hospital officials said.

Elsass has been a director of medically-integrated fitness centers for the last 10 years, having opened a facility from the ground up in Kingman, Ariz. Most recently, Elsass managed a large facility in Conway, Ark.

The opening of the 75,000 square-foot, medically-integrated wellness center is scheduled for September. Elsass will begin his role as director on Monday. He and his wife, Carrie, and their two children, Jordan and Derek, will be relocating to Longview.
