Rockland Community College, Suffern NY
Sunday, May 18th, 2008 —Bergen Regional Medical Center has teamed with the American Heart Association to be a part of the 2008 Start! Tri-County Heart Walk to be held at Rockland Community College, Suffern, NY on May 18, 2008. Cardiovascular disease is our nation’s No. 1 killer. Seventy percent of Americans don’t get enough exercise, blaming lack of time and lack of motivation. Most people don’t realize that they will gain about two hours of life expectancy for each hour of regular exercise. For more information about the Walk, visit www.tricountyheartwalk.org
