We aim to promote healthy lifestyles and build healthy communities one step at a time. We will have healthcare providers join us as you participate in the 5k to answer any questions about immunizations or well-child visits! If you don’t get a chance to speak to a provider during the walk, stop by the 'Ask A Provider' booth afterward. Halloween costumes are highly encouraged but not required."
