Heart Run & Walk in Oneonta

Roughly three hundred people turned out for SUNY Oneonta's annual indoor Heart Run and Walk on Saturday, February 9. It wasn't hard to get people to the gymnasium; heart disease has touched many people who participate in the walk.

Booths offering information on heart health and nutrition were set up for participants and visitors. Weight, family history and diet: there are a lot of factors that could contribute to heart problems later in life which is why nurses here say it's important to get your heart checked at least once a year by your physician.
