An indoor walking trail is one of the newest enhancements at St. Catherine Hospital. This trail was made possible through a partnership with LiveWell Finney County and means greater access to healthy activities for associates as well as the public.
The first Wednesday in April is celebrated as National Walking Day. A program of the American Heart Association, this day encourages Americans to commit to being more active on a regular basis. Locally, St. Catherine Hospital and LiveWell Finney County have been working together with worksites and key community locations such as hospitals and municipalities to increase opportunities for individuals to be physically active.
On Wednesday, April 5 at 9 am, a Chamber Ribbon Cutting will be held for the indoor trail in the hospital cafeteria. The trail, located on the lower level of St. Catherine Hospital, is 1/7 of a mile long and provides associates and visitors the opportunity to easily increase their physical activity.
“The benefits of exercise, even in periods of time as little as 10 minutes, have been shown to be beneficial, both in stress reduction for our patient’s family and friends and increased productivity for our associates,” said Beth Koksal, Wellness Program Supervisor. “This walking trail will be a great addition to our campus. We will now have marked trails both inside and outside!”
In addition to the ribbon cutting on April 5th, St. Catherine Hospital Wellness staff will be leading group walks at 10 am, 11 am, Noon, and 1 pm. For more information, please call 620-272-2530.
