Heart of Ohio Family Health has signed up for the 2024 Central Ohio Heart Walk on Saturday, August 17, 2024, at McFerson Commons Park, 218 West Street, Columbus, Ohio beginning from 8am.
The 2024 Heart Walk marks 100 years of the American Heart Association working to ensure all people can enjoy longer, healthier lives.
The Heart Walk is a time of celebration, joy, and inspiration. It’s also an event where people work together to support one single goal – to create a world free of heart disease and stroke.
Calling on members of the public to participate in the HEART WALK, Dr. Buhari Mohammed, Chief Executive Officer of Heart of Ohio Family Health said, “participating in the heart walk is about coming together, getting hearts pumping, honoring survivors, raising lifesaving funding, spreading awareness, and having fun along the way.”
“I walk to save lives, so can you.”
The American Heart Association noted that “throughout the past century, the American Heart Association has recognized that we’re all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way, and we must change that. With your help, we can keep working to ensure all people can enjoy longer, healthier lives.”
“Heart disease is still the no. 1 killer and stroke ranks no. 5 in our nation. We are walking together – not only for our own health, but also for yours. And for the health of our parents, our children, and our grandchildren.”
This year, as we celebrate the Centennial of the American Heart Association, we will move into our second century with Bold Hearts focused on the work ahead while celebrating our lifesaving history with those who have made it possible. This relentless pursuit will continue until heart disease and stroke no longer exist.
