Hospital Foundation to host physician-led walks

The Northwest Hospital Foundation is hosting a free, physician-led walking group along the UPMC Northwest walking trail from August to October. Each month, a UPMC physician will lead a walk and discuss health-related topics. On August 22, Heidi Ochs will talk about teaching children healthy practices. On September 17, Kyle Shilk will cover techniques for pain relief and demonstrate stretches for low back pain. On October 7, Erin Concannon-Fink will discuss the cardiovascular benefits of exercise. Walks start at 5 p.m. at the UPMC Northwest walking trail pavilion, with no registration required. For more information, contact Theresa Edder at the Northwest Hospital Foundation.
