Cardiac Rehab sponsors mall walk (USA)

"Nearly 200 walkers gathered recently at Marion Centre (Ohio) in recognition and celebration of National Cardiac Rehabilitation Week and National Heart Month. This annual event, sponsored by Marion General Hospital's Cardiac Rehab, invites the public to join current and past cardiac rehab patients for a one-mile walk inside the mall. Sporting T-shirts that proclaimed "Cardiac Rehabilitation ... Building a Strong Heart," friends, family and hospital staff members celebrated the annual event in spite of cold temperatures and blowing snow. "There are so many steps that we can choose to make in improving our heart health" states Brenda Estes, manager of cardiac rehab. "Adding walking to our exercise regimen is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to get out and moving."
