“Walk from Obesity” with Baptist Bariatric Center

The Baptist Bariatric Center is improving community health at the local 2008 “Walk from Obesity.”  The wellness walk takes place Oct. 4 from 8 to 10 a.m. at the Pensacola Junior College Milton campus track.

Obesity is a serious health epidemic that affects one in four Americans. In Florida alone, 60 percent of adults are overweight or obese and 26 percent of high school students are overweight or at risk of becoming overweight.

The Baptist Bariatric Center is committed to bringing more awareness to obesity and providing activities in Northwest Florida to encourage exercise and healthy lifestyles.

“Walk from Obesity,” a national event that takes place in hundreds of cities across the country, is aimed at promoting research, education, prevention and treatment of obesity.

To register for the walk, visit www.walkfromobesity.com, or call (850) 469-5810.
