Mesa View Regional Hospital Promotes Heart Health Awareness Month

Mesquite’s annual Heart Walk got moving on Friday morning at the Mesquite Rec Center on Old Mill Road. Registration and a prize raffle took place inside the venue’s gymnasium for the Feb. 9 affair – which promoted Heart Health Awareness Month – according to Nicholas Montoya, city director of Athletics & Leisure Services. “We have been doing this for 20 years and welcome the celebration,” Montoya said, noting that 300 registrants walked the walk this time around. “We have had many people participate over the years and some do so every year.” Among those hundreds on hand, 150 were 5th-graders from Virgin Valley Elementary School. For the record, Heart Walk has sponsors but isn’t a registered fundraiser; any donations go toward youth programs. Registration costs nothing; participants who provided contact information were given red T-shirts. During this month, Montoya asserted, “We are committed to supporting our community to get healthier. We all should look at our lifestyles and see what we can do to help promote a heart-healthy lifestyle for the future.” He expressed “special thanks” to the Mesquite Showgirls for helping out at the walk.
