Join the new wellness initiative

Hawthorn Cardiologist Michael Rocha, MD, has decided to do something about the health of the New Bedford area. Dr. Rocha now leads a monthly Wellness Walk at Buttonwood Park the first Saturday of every month at 10:00 am. The group, which had about 50 people for the April walk, meets at the entrance to the zoo. Walk around the park at a pace comfortable for you. Do the whole 2-mile walk or whatever you can. The idea is to “Get Moving; Get Healthy.”

The Wellness Walks have now become part of the larger New Bedford Wellness Initiative formed to raise health awareness and encourage physical activity. Check out their Facebook page for information about other upcoming activities.
