CINCINNATI (March 14, 2025) – Heart patients at The Christ Hospital Health Network took part in their own Heart Mini Marathon. On Friday, March 14, at 11:00 a.m., heart patients and their caregivers joined the Cardiovascular Stepdown Unit (CVSU) staff in an on-site “Mini Heart Mini” Walk with running medals and snacks to make a great race. The event takes place the Friday before Cincinnati's Heart Mini Marathon on Sunday.
Patients and caregivers participated in the Mini Heart Mini Walk to celebrate their triumphs in heart disease and stroke recovery. Patients were given the option to walk a half marathon (half the floor) or a full marathon (walking the entire floor) with assistance from our team members. The event highlights the importance of exercise being good for your heart.
