Complete the statement – I am #allin Cornerstone because….. I believe in exercising in a fun community like Cornerstone to help my healthspan. As a physician, I believe it is important to maintain your health which can limit the number of doctor visits by preventing common medical problems such as obesity and diabetes. Cornerstone has been instrumental in helping me with the physical stamina and mental alertness required for my job and for my quality of life.
