was sent to the Senate months ago.

Senator McConnell's Kentucky colleague, the junior senator of Kentucky, Rand Paul paid a visit to Louisville Summit Wellness Center yesterday since opening last year.

The center is given Louisville's first responders supplies to go maintain their mental physical financial, social and even spiritual health.

More about that in tonight's look at meta.

Well, news.

>> The Summit Wellness Center came to be officially about a year ago.

It is a building for our first responders and in particular, our little Metro Police Department.

And it is for helping our helpers.

It is providing wellness resources for officers so they can be the best possible versions of themselves when they go out to the community.

We want to take a holistic approach to wellness.

We want to address everything.

An officer and their family could be dealing with.

So we have 5 pillars, a wellness here, physical mental spiritual financial and social.

The officers come here for one of those 5 things every single day.

Mostly people see the physical fitness part of it, the gym, the basketball court, the physical therapy that goes on upstairs to make sure they're healthy and able to respond to runs day-to-day.

We also host financial classes and financial education so they can stay on top of their budget and their financial education.

We host social events to maintain their social wellness.

We also have our spiritual wellness, which we have a chaplain that officers can come and see and hope to host them.

It's a big advance and then mental health, mental wellness, which we have a fully staffed psychologists in the building.

So officers and employees and their families, I can talk to them and and help deal with the day-to-day things.

They they see every single day out on the street.

>> A summit wellness center is is pivotal for us.

You'll see today that there are 16 recruit applicants and the testing process that are here today.

Right now that a plot for us and understanding what this means to have this type of facility that no one else in the country has keeping people safe is our primary duty and his leadership between the mayor's office and our partnerships with the community.

We are here to take care of the people that take care of people and we need officers who are healthy, physically spiritually, mentally, emotionally and financially to be able to go out there and feel comfortable doing their job, knowing that their city and their police department is behind them doing that tough work as far as health and wellness.

I think this is a great example.

You know, when you look at police Monday to put their people have to be able to right around is to have to be physically fit.

And so well, the rest of us probably could take some advice from that as well.

Just as a country.

I think you're going to hear more about that from the federal government now about all of them, all of us have better died, better fitness and now it helps our mental well-being as well as if we're in better shape.

So I'm hoping that not only here in Louisville, but that there's going to be more of a national trend of talking about wellness.

>> Every single day, there's someone that got hurt.

I mean, it's it's amazing to think that the job they do is dangerous.

But sometimes it's the simplest thing sometimes are stepping out of the car and rolling your ankle.

Sometimes it's just, you know, fast job to a situation.

That's a little amped up.

A new kind of twist journey.

So every single day there, someone who is injured, it's not always a significant career ending injury.

Sometimes it's just little tweak the path to get that with.

So just about every single day, it's important to come back and honor the people who >> gave up so much, you know, to try to KET safety in Louisville, the police officers that were injured and wounded still dealing with their injuries.

I think it's important that we as a community honor that.
