On Sunday, October 11, members of the Brooklyn Health Information Exchange, Team BHIX, participated in the American Heart Association’s 2009 Brooklyn Start! Heart Walk in Prospect Park. The event, which raised awareness and funds to support the fight against cardiovascular diseases and stroke, was the first AHA walk to be held in Brooklyn. It attracted more than 1,200 participants and raised $165,000.
Team BHIX enjoyed the festivities, while doing its part to champion the mission and message of the American Heart Association. “We are happy to be here today and we hope to see our team grow in numbers in support of this wonderful community event,” said a BHIX team member.
