NewsChannel 13: Walking Your Way to Heart Health

High blood pressure is known as the “silent killer” because often there are no symptoms. Knowing your numbers is an excellent step towards better health.

Samaritan and St. Mary’s hospitals offer a monthly “Walk With a Doc” program where you can join two cardiologists for a one-mile walk and ask questions.

On March 23 and 24, St. Peter’s Health Partners held the 19th annual Journey Through The Body, co-sponsored by  WNYT-NewsChannel 13.  Children and families gathered at Crossgates Mall to walk through a giant ear, listen to their heartbeat, and stroll through a 16-foot brain.
