Run With Your Community,
For Your Community
Thank you to all who joined us for our annual 5K/10K to support patient care and recovery.
Thank you to our sponsors! To sponsor this or other 2024 events, please contact the FMC Foundation.
190 people participated in the 2023 Heart & Lung Run and more than $21,000 was raised for the Heart & Lung Fund. In addition, The Ed Readman Award was presented to Kevin Curry of Information Services, who is a graduate of cardiopulmonary rehab at FMC. Like Ed, Kevin is a dedicated participant in the Heart & Lung Run. “Every year since Kevin’s event, he has participated in the Heart and Lung Run, often competing against the very surgeon who saved his life,” said Stephanie Young, who helps coordinate the event each year.
In the coming year, the FMC Foundation is committed to supporting cardiovascular health through the renovation and enhancement of FMC’s interventional Cath Labs.
These rooms service thousands of hearts each year, including procedures to diagnose, prevent and treat life-threatening cardiac disease by providing the necessary equipment to open blocked vessels and restore blood flow to the heart.
“We never want patients to have to make a choice between their health and their finances. Their job is to concentrate on getting healthy, not to worry about whether or not they can afford to get healthy.”
– Stephanie Young, FMC Cardio Fitness Supervisor
