Northwest Radiology Network will be participating in the 2011 Indianapolis Heart Walk in an effort to support the American Heart Association and raise awareness of heart disease and stroke.

According to the American Heart Association, “The health of the United States has hit a new low, with millions of Americans at risk for heart disease and stroke. The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association are responding to this crisis with a new national movement designed to change the way Americans think about their health. It’s called My Heart. My Life. It’s about embracing an overall healthier lifestyle to improve cardiovascular health.

This movement is a national rallying cry for change – through simple behavior adjustments that help people feel better and live longer. The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association has developed a number of activities under the umbrella of My Heart. My Life. Among them: increased health education, advocacy for better public policy in important health areas such as anti-smoking laws, and helping communities find ways to eat healthier and stay physically active.”

The Indianapolis Heart Walk will take place on September 17th, 2011 at the Celebration Plaza in Indianapolis’s White River State Park. If you’d like to join the Northwest Radiology team, visit www.HeartWalk.org to sign up.
