Samaritan & St. Mary’s Hospitals to Hold “Just Walk With A Doc” Program to Improve Community Health
Samaritan Hospital and St. Mary’s Hospital will offer “Just Walk With a Doc,” a monthly healthy heart program featuring a one-mile walk with an area cardiologist, Saturday, Jul. 9, 8 a.m. (7:30 a.m. registration), at Troy Farmers Market (near the Uncle Sam Statue and walk in Riverfront Park). The “Just Walk With A Doc” Program is designed to educate and encourage physical activity to improve health.

Just 30 minutes of walking a day can reduce the risk of heart disease, improve blood pressure and blood sugar, elevate mood, and reduce the risk of osteoporosis, cancer and diabetes. Additional monthly walks are scheduled for the following Saturday dates: July 9, August 13, September 10, and October 8. The events are open to the public, free of charge.
