Gazette: Walking the Walk

Samaritan and St. Mary’s hospitals offer “Just Walk With a Doc,” a monthly healthy heart program featuring a one-mile walk with an area cardiologist. The program is designed to educate and encourage physical activity to improve health. A cardiologist leads the one-mile walks enabling participants to ask medical questions in an informal, relaxed atmosphere.

Aakash Garg, M.D., of Cardiology Associates of Schenectady, a practice of St. Peter’s Health Partners Medical Associates, answers heart-related questions during an appearance on WAMC’s Medical Monday. 

Congratulations to everyone on the Cardiac and Vascular team at St. Peter’s Hospital for earning this prestigious Blue Distinction Center designation!
