W
alkers of all ages and abilities
are welcome this spring at the
Northwell Health Walk. Previously
known as the North Shore-LIJ Walk
for Health, the event celebrates and
supports health and wellness programs.
With three locations to choose from this
year — Jones Beach on Long Island, the
Midland Beach Promenade on Staten
Island and Greenwich Village in New
York City — the event will reach more
people and touch more lives than ever.
"Our goal is to help families on their
path to wellness," said Lori Peterson,
senior associate director for special
events at Northwell Health Foundation.
"So we want the Northwell Health Walk
to be our communities' premier health
and wellness event."
Northwell Health Walk participants will
raise funds for family wellness initiatives
in the community where they walk:
– Jones Beach walkers will have a
positive impact on the lives and
care of patients at Cohen Children's
Medical Center and the Katz Institute
for Women's Health.
– Greenwich Village participants
will help strengthen New York City
families' health by supporting Lenox
Health Greenwich Village, Lenox Hill
Hospital, and Manhattan Eye, Ear and
Throat Hospital.
– Staten Island walkers at the Midland
Beach Promenade will help to
give expectant and new moms an
enhanced experience at the new
Women and Children's Center at
Staten Island University Hospital.
"This walk brings our communities
together and personalizes Northwell's
commitment to creating healthier
families," Ms. Peterson said. "It's not
only a healthy activity, but it's a lot of
fun, too!"
The nonprofit Children's Medical Fund of New York is asking for the
community's help to provide funding for a new pediatric MRI center.
