Clara Barton Medical Center will host a National Walk @ Lunch Day event at both the Hoisington (250 W 9th St) and Great Bend (906 McKinley) clinic locations on Wednesday, April 30. This come-and-go event will take place from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM. CBMC invites the community to wear their walking shoes and take advantage of the walking trail around the Hoisington and Great Bend Clinic locations.
Clara’s Corner Café will provide a complimentary sack lunch to the first 75 attendees in Hoisington and the first 40 in Great Bend. All attendees will have the chance to register for door prizes. Participants are encouraged to snap a selfie or group photo, tag the Clara Barton Medical Center Facebook page, and use the hashtag #NWLDKS to join the fun online. Those unable to attend at the clinic locations are encouraged to participate by walking at their workplace or in their own neighborhood.
National Walk @ Lunch Day is designed to inspire busy individuals to take advantage of their lunch break to start a healthy routine. Walking is one of the simplest and most effective forms of exercise. When done briskly and regularly, just 30 minutes of walking can decrease the risk of heart attack and type-2 diabetes, control weight, improve muscle tone, and reduce stress.
