The
HealthFirst Family Care Center
held its first annual Walkathon at the Bristol
Community College Pond on October 17, 2015. Walkers were challenged to
walk three miles by walking around the Pond five times. "We
already know that it's our most successful fundraiser ever, and we want to
thank forty-seven sponsors who helped us raise all of the funds for
today," said CEO Julie Almond and Event Chairman Barry Pelland.
"The event coincides with the Center's 44th year of proudly serving
the community with medical and dental services." Since its inception
in 1971, daily operations at HealthFirst have been guided by its mission
of providing accessible, high-quality, comprehensive primary health care
to a diverse community of individuals and families regardless of their
life circumstances. Click here for
