North End Waterfront Health (NEWHealth) recently launched a complimentary weekly walking club at their Charlestown site. It is open to people of all ages, both patients and the general public, and the staff leader is also bilingual, so Spanish-speaking residents can easily be a part of it. Participants leave from the Charlestown site at 15 Tufts Street every Wednesday at 10 a.m., with the route and distance dependent on the weather and participants. Community members and residents can join as a way to engage with others outdoors while also learning about resources at the health center and highlighting the importance of walking for health in a more informal and interactive way.
Charlestown resident and NEW Health Practice Manager Alex Martinez can speak with a member of your team to talk about the importance of community health centers and the benefits of the walking club to be featured as an evergreen segment. B-roll and photo opportunities are also available. Photos of previous walking clubs are attached to this email for reference. If this story is of interest, the NEW Health team would love to invite a photographer and reporter to the walking club when schedules allow. Please reach out if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing your thoughts and thank you for your consideration!
