Walk with Us on Saturday, November 6

If you love to walk or run and want to help raise money to fight heart disease there's still time to sign up for this year's American Heart Association's Start! Heart Walk on November 6 at Brackenridge Park. Visit the website now to get started. At Baptist, we're proud to be the presenting sponsor for the 3rd year running.

Baptist Health System's Director of Communications,  Karen May says, "The local chapter of the American Heart Association has set a goal of raising half a million dollars for research into preventing and treating heart attack and stroke. Employees and affiliated physicians of the Baptist Health System have pledged to raise $135,000 toward that goal. Why? Because we see the damage that heart disease and vascular disease does to San Antonio families."

Baptist Health System's nurses Nancy Schmucker, Clinical Outreach Director and Beth Davenport, Community Health Screening Manager will be standing by at the Mobile Health Unit to offer free health screenings to walk participants. I'm not sure if I will be bringing my dogs this year but I'm starting to raise funds and will be there with my walking shoes on the 6th.

Hope to see you there too.
