"Stress Test Importance" will be the topic of the next Franciscanfit - Steps to Good Health monthly Mallwalkers program.
The program, sponsored by Sisters of Saint Francis Health Services, Inc. - Northern Indiana Region and Westfield Southlake Mall, will take place from 8 a.m. - 10 a.m, Oct. 27.
The public is invited to attend a presentation at 9 a.m. by John Szymczak, MD, a hospitalist at Franciscan Physicians Hospital in Munster. He will discuss the importance of cardiovascular health and stress testing. Blood pressure screenings will be offered that day.
The free program, which kicked off in January, offers charter memberships in the new club, formed in conjunction with the Westfield Walkers.
New Mallwalkers members are welcome to register for the program, which takes place on the mall's lower level, outside of JC Penney, on the fourth Wednesday of each month.
