Healthy Strides is back!!!
For a second year Healthy Strides will offer a six-week opportunity for the
people of Ken-Ton to improve their health and we need your help!
What is it? Last year, Healthy Strides organized sixty programs offered by
Kenmore Mercy Hospital, the Ken-Ton Family YMCA, the Town of
Tonawanda Department of Youth, Parks, and Recreation, Roswell Park
Hospital, and many other churches and organizations. These included
walking and exercise groups, healthy cooking classes, smoking cessation,
coping with diabetes, back care, meditation and stress reduction, and many
more. More than 500 people participated, and more than 200 completed at
least 12 activities in the six-week period and became eligible to win prizes.
This year we want to expand those numbers!!! And with your help, we can!

the community at large to register, choose
their goals, and sign up for programs.
Everyone who comes to the Health Fair can
be tested for blood pressure, cholesterol,
diabetes, body mass index, etc.
We end with a Closing Celebration on
