Monmouth Medical Center’s LiveWell Center in Eatontown recently held a celebration to honor participants of its Member Rewards Program, which was launched in early 2025. The program recognizes community members who attend multiple health and wellness classes at the center throughout the year.
Participants achieve different recognition levels based on attendance: “Bronze” for attending 30 or more programs, “Silver” for 50 or more, and “Gold” for those who attend 75 or more. Members can also be selected as “Member of the Month” after attending at least ten programs, with the opportunity to collaborate with staff on a personalized health education or nutrition program.
At the December event, bronze, silver, and gold members were recognized alongside individuals noted for participating in the most movement, nutrition, and health education classes. In total, 293 people participated in the rewards program during 2025. Fourteen reached bronze status, thirteen achieved silver, and ten earned gold.
Rose Mondalto was named the 2025 Member of the Year after attending 210 programs. She commented on her experience: “I love the nutrition and movement classes but mostly enjoy all of the new friends I have made at the LiveWell Center.”
The LiveWell Center offers free workshops on topics such as nutrition, chronic diseases—including heart disease, cancer, obesity, and diabetes—childbirth and postpartum care, and mental health. Nutrition programming is led by a registered dietitian in a demonstration kitchen designed for educational purposes. Offerings include sessions like Baby’s First Foods and Kids Snack Time and Cooking.
Most programs are available both in-person and virtually to accommodate different needs. The center also provides support groups covering caregiver support, bereavement, tobacco cessation, stroke recovery, oncology support, breastfeeding guidance, and nutrition help. All programs are open to community members regardless of insurance status.
Abby Thompson MPH, CHES., Regional Program Director for Community Health and Social Impact & Community Investment at Monmouth Medical Center stated: “Our programs focus on preventing chronic diseases and helping those with a diagnosis make behavior changes that can help them live a healthier life,” adding that they are delivered by clinical experts using data-driven approaches tailored to diverse populations. She continued: “We also place a focus on reaching underserved and vulnerable populations. We strive to connect community members to needed healthcare services in their community, and work beyond the walls of this center and our hospital to be embed ourselves in the communities we serve.”
Thompson concluded: “Together we can make small changes that lead to big improvements in health and well-being.”
