FranciscanFit Mallwalkers Program Set for March 23

To help celebrate the new season, “Put Some Spring in Your Step’’ with a healthier diet will be the presentation topic for the next Franciscanfit -- Steps to Good Health monthly Mallwalkers program.

The free program, sponsored by Franciscan Alliance hospitals in northern Indiana and Westfield Southlake mall, is scheduled for 8 to 10 a.m. March 23.

The public is invited to attend a 9 a.m. presentation of the program theme offered by Joe Mishlove, a registered dietitian at Franciscan St. Anthony Health - Crown Point. Mishlove will share healthy diet advice, recipes and products to help users trim calories and increase nutrients in daily meals.

Blood glucose screenings will be provided by Angela Schoof (laboratory phlebotomist) and Sandy Walden (hospital point of care coordinator), both of Franciscan St. Anthony Health - Michigan City.

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. Regular walkers hours are 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Mondays through Saturdays and 9 to 11 a.m. Sundays.

For more information, call (800) 931-3322.
