HOWARD COUNTY, MD — After working as a certified personal trainer and nutritionist for years, Howard County resident Jill L. Kitko Bernard decided to join the MedFit Network in 2021 to help educate and promote healthy behaviors among Marylanders.

As a MedFit specialist, Kitko Bernard told Patch that her goal is to help individuals reach their wellness goals in an environment in which they feel comfortable. She focuses on - but isn't limited to - personal training, nutrition counseling, osteoporosis, menopause and post rehab services.
