It’s time to get ready for the 2014 Greater Dayton American Heart Association 5K Heart Walk/Run. The event is Saturday, September 27 at Fifth Third Field. As the Signature Sponsor for this year’s event, Kettering Health Network hopes to have a strong showing at the event.
Help Kettering Health Network be the first healthcare organization in Dayton to ever raise $50,000 for the 2014 Greater Dayton American Heart Association 5K Heart Walk/Run. The American Heart Association supports research funding that develops procedures to save lives to prevent, treat, and defeat heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases. These diseases, the nation’s No. 1 and No. 4 killers claim more than 813,804 American lives a year.
“We all benefit from what the American Heart Association has done over the years on a daily basis,” says Dr. Harvey Hahn, Kettering cardiologist. “CPR training, medical research, guidelines, and program sponsorship have all led to improvements in cardiac care that we use every day. I feel strongly that we need to continue to support the AHA’s mission as it will help us provide better patient care today and in the near future.”
