Showing Their Soles

Institute of Cardiovascular Excellence recently held its annual ICE Walk. The goal of the event is to promote healthy hearts and help participants understand how walking benefits those with or without heart disease. In addition to participating in the walk, attendees were able to visit health and wellness vendors and enjoy food, raffles and prize giveaways.

In an ongoing editorial series coming this February exclusively to Healthy Living, we take an in-depth look at Florida’s foster care and adoption programs. You will get to meet the local families who have opened up their homes and their hearts to our children in need.
