WASHINGTON – Sen. Camera Bartolotta (R-46) and Rep. Natalie Mihalek (R-40), in partnership with Highmark Wholecare, is hosting a 10,000 Step Challenge Wellness Event on Thursday, April 18, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Peters Township Community Recreation Center (multi-purpose room), 700 Meredith Drive, Venetia.
Attendees will have the opportunity to speak with exhibitors about active living and improving their health. Highmark Wholecare will host interactive demonstrations on healthy food choices and blood pressure screening. Bartolotta and Mihalek will be available for all state-related questions and concerns.
“Most health challenges can be prevented – or at least minimized – with a wellness plan,” Bartolotta said. “As members of the community transition away from working and into a different life stage, it’s a great time to reassess their approach to health. Connecting with medical professionals will help them enjoy their loved ones and hobbies for many years to come.”
Following the event, the 10,000 step challenge will kick off on the trail outside the recreation center.
“With some simple changes like increasing activity and healthier eating, we can live longer and feel better, so Sen. Bartolotta and I want to make sure that resources are available for people to do just that,” said Mihalek. “By having a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere, we hope everyone who attends gets a few steps in, learns a little bit and also has a great time.”
It is not necessary to RSVP for the event, but residents are encouraged to call Bartolotta’s office at 724-225-4380 with any questions.
