Large turnout from Team UHS shows support for the 2024 Heart Walk

Team UHS turned out in force Sunday, April 28 to benefit the work of the American Heart Association.

The 2024 Southern Tier Heart Walk brought in hundreds of walkers from around the community at Binghamton University in Vestal.

Walkers got started after the opening ceremonies kicked things off at 9:30am. Additional activities included blood pressure screenings, wellness demonstrations, and celebrations of survivors of stroke and heart disease, plus entertainment for participants of all ages.

Walkers still have time to turn in their donations at www.SouthernTierHeartWalk.org.

The AHA thanked the sponsors, teams and individuals who have helped the American Heart Association be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives.

Over the past three decades of the Heart Walk in the Southern Tier, the generous community has raised more than $5 million for lifesaving research, education, training and advocacy programs.

The Southern Tier Heart Walk is the signature event of the American Heart Association’s Heart Challenge program, designed to help companies positively impact employee overall health and wellbeing.

The funds raised from the walk go toward research, advocacy, CPR training and health promotion in support of the AHA’s 2024 Health Equity Impact Goal, reducing barriers to healthcare access and quality.
