Through institutions in Dallas, such as @CooperAerobics, Dr. Cooper has championed prevention over treatment for more than half a century. His legacy endures in millions of healthier lives and the global embrace of wellness. Dr. Cooper has been a DCMS member for 55 years.

Before his 1960s research, exercise was mostly for athletes, and preventive health was not a medical priority. His 1968 book "Aerobics" sparked a worldwide fitness movement and established exercise as essential medicine.

Please join us in wishing Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper a happy birthday! He turns 95 today. Dr. Cooper revolutionized global health by introducing the concept of aerobics and proving that regular exercise prevents disease and extends life.
