Saint Anne's Hospital Cardiac Rehab employees started
a seven-week
program on April 1, 2009 to develop the aerobic endurance of ten
individuals who are willing to walk in either the
American Heart Walk on May 2, 2009 and/or the
Hudner
Oncology Center's
Get Moving Walk
on May 16, 2009. Exercise physiologist Derek Paiva
and Diabetes Educator Rose Resendes have teamed up to offer a "Step It
Up" walking club every weekday at the Hospital. The group meets at noon
at the hospital, dons their Get Moving tee-shirts and pedometers and
then heads out to walk around the Hospital and then around Kennedy Park.
"This is definitely an enthusiastic group" comments Derek. "I think
they'll have no trouble making either of the 5K walks." The Heart Walk
is held at Colt State Park
in Bristol, and the Get Moving walk is held at
Diman Regional Vocational
Technical High School on the City's East Side.
For more information,

Paiva at 508-674-5600 x2392 or
