Franciscan Health Launches Wellness Walking Program to Promote Community Health
Franciscan Health, in collaboration with the Lake County Health Department, has initiated a free, six-week outdoor walking program called 'Path to Wellness.' This program is designed to enhance community health and wellness through guided walks and wellness talks. Scheduled to take place every Friday from April 24 to May 29, the program will be held at the Pennsy Greenway Trail in Crown Point. Participants are encouraged to register at 9:45 a.m., with the event starting at 10 a.m. The sessions will include brief informational talks on wellness, followed by light stretching and a community walk. In case of bad weather, the walks will be canceled. This initiative is part of Franciscan Health's broader efforts to promote physical and mental well-being in the community.
