Lincoln Memorial Hospital receives
Bicycle Friendly Award
[June 09, 2026]
LINCOLN – The League of
American Bicyclists recently awarded Lincoln Memorial Hospital with
a silver-level Bicycle Friendly Business Award, up from the previous
bronze designation.
The nonprofit hospital supports a strong bicycle culture through
colleague bike rentals, a bike fix-it station and racks along the
Wellness Trailhead, Bike Month activities, monthly tune-up days and
sponsorship of a metric century ride.
“These efforts help promote wellness, sustainability and active
transportation throughout the community,” said community health
consultant Molly McCain. “We appreciate our colleagues at LMH who
strive to make healthy lifestyles more accessible for colleagues and
community members alike!”
Memorial Health hospitals complete a community health needs
assessment every three years to identify the highest health
priorities in their local areas. Promoting cycling and active
transportation is an evidence-based strategy to drive lower rates of
obesity and improve health outcomes.
Three Memorial Health affiliates have pursued becoming bicycle
friendly businesses through the League of American Bicyclists.
Jacksonville Memorial Hospital, Lincoln Memorial Hospital and
Taylorville Memorial Hospital have worked together to conduct
employee surveys and provide educational materials and marketing
campaigns to reach employees and community members about the
benefits of cycling.
The League of American Bicyclists
works to create safer roads, stronger communities and a Bicycle
Friendly America through education, advocacy and promotion.
