Walk the Prairie for Health
The Partnership for Healthy Communities, a collaboration of 5 health systems and 2 community service organizations (Clearwater Human Needs Council, Clearwater Valley Hospital & Clinics, Grangeville Human Needs Council, Idaho North Central Public Health District, Nimiipuu Health, Snake River Community Clinic, St. Mary’s Hospital & Clinics, and Syringa Hospital & Clinics), will be sponsoring seven walks on the prairie in an effort to promote physical activity and raise awareness about the need for movement in our lives. 
All walks will be marked in quarter mile increments and individuals can decide for themselves what distance they are comfortable with. The “Walk the Prairie for Health” series of events is geared to all age groups and fitness levels. Bring the whole family and the dog (on a leash) for some fun and good times.
On April 1st, the first walk will take place at the Mouth of Grave’s Creek on the Salmon River. All walks will start at 9:00 AM, registration to begin at 8:30.The remaining walks will take place every Saturday morning until our final walk on May20th. The only week a walk will not be held during that time frame will be on April15th.
April 8th we will walk in Ferdinand. The 22nd will be a  tour of Greencreek.
On the 29th we’ll enjoy a day on the grounds of the Monastery of St. Gertrude’s. 
On May 6th we will be in Keuterville, starting off from the Pub and Grub.
On May 13 we will be in Cottonwood ,with the assistance of the Cottonwood Cross Country Team, and our final walk takes place on May 20th at Cottonwood Butte.
For each walk attended the participant can put in a ticket to win a Fitbit Charge 2 on the day of the final walk. Drawing results will be final.
There is no charge to participate in the walks so bring your walking shoes, a sunhat, and a desire to get out and move. Onsite at each walk the Cottonwood CRV (Community Response Vehicle) will be there for safety and support. Also available will be FREE health screenings for chronic disease performed by the Partnership for Healthy Communities.
