Hallmark Health System's Stride for Health walk

Join Hallmark Health System, which includes Lawrence Memorial Hospital of Medford and Melrose-Wakefield Hospital, at the third annual Stride for Health walk on Sunday, June 6, 5 p.m., at Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield.

Proceeds from this year's walk will provide CPR training and choke-saving skills to 10th and 11th grade students in Malden, Medford, Melrose, Stoneham and Wakefield. Once students have completed their school-based training, they will pledge to train at least three family members using the life-saving kit provided to them. Statistics have shown that communities with residents trained in CPR and choke-saving skills have a dramatic impact on saving lives.
