Salude will host its seventh annual WALK! with Aegis Therapies at 1 p.m. Sept. 28 in Suwanee.
The 2015 kick-off event, which will run through Oct. 2 at Aegis Therapies locations on Northolt Parkway in Suwanee and across the country, will feature Aegis Therapies executive chef Darin Leonardson in a live
cooking demonstration highlighting healthy foods and nutrition.
Community members can create their own WALK! team and register for free anytime between now and October 1 at www.walkwithaegis.com.
“We invite the community to join us for this fun-filled week that encourages active aging and educates participants about healthy living at any age,” said Dee Desai, executive director of Salude. “Our patients, their families and our whole staff are looking forward to this event.”
Aegis Therapies, one of the largest contract rehabilitation companies in the country, provides rehabilitation services at Salude.
Each day of WALK! with Aegis Therapies will feature a walking activity and an additional wellness activity. Participants who are not able to complete planned walks will have the option of engaging in other physical activities.
Participating sites will calculate miles walked daily by event participants at each location and Aegis Therapies staff will calculate a national total of miles walked during WALK! with Aegis Therapies 2015. Participants in the 2014 program collectively walked close to 100,000 miles by the end of the week!
In addition to a daily walking exercise, participants can engage in a variety of other wellness activities, including brain teasers, positive thinking, and meditation exercises.
