Walk for Health… Journey to a healthy lifestyle

Walk for Health to benefit Saint Barnabas Medical Center

Walk for Health… Journey to a healthy lifestyle
to benefit programs and services for the Bariatric, Cardiac, Joint Replacement and Stroke Departments

The Walk for Health... Journey to a healthy lifestyle was created initially to support the Weight Management and Obesity Centers at Saint Barnabas Medical Center and Saint Barnabas Ambulatory Care Center.  Because so many people we care for begin new journeys after being hospitalized, we decided not to limit this walk but to open it to our whole community.  Whether you or your loved one has been cared for at Saint Barnabas Medical Center, the Walk for Health is an opportunity to celebrate your journey, the accomplishments and milestones that you have achieved as well as to raise funds to benefit Saint Barnabas Medical Center and Saint Barnabas Ambulatory Care Center.  Proceeds will benefit programs and services for the Bariatric, Cardiac, Joint Replacement and Stroke Departments.  The mall provides a temperature controlled climate to allow everyone in the family to get involved and make a difference.  The Third Annual Walk for Health will be held on Sunday, April 19, 2009 at Livingston Mall in Livingston, NJ.
