BIRMINGHAM, AL – Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama is pleased to announce the return of Walk@Lunch on Wednesday, April 17, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Linn Park in downtown Birmingham. We are proud to partner with the City of Birmingham, BWell BHM and Engage BHM for this special health and wellness event.

Blue Cross recognizes that healthy lifestyle choices improve lives. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, physical inactivity costs the nation $117 billion a year for related health care services. Numerous studies show walking just 30 minutes a day can help boost an individual’s overall physical and mental health.

Walk@Lunch looks forward to returning to Linn Park on April 17. Group walks will take place every 30 minutes beginning at 11 a.m. Local businesses, vendors, food trucks and health organizations will participate and provide information. Fitness and health demonstrations will occur throughout the event.

Walk@Lunch is yet another way Blue Cross demonstrates our ongoing commitment to improving the lives of Alabamians by encouraging healthy lifestyles.
