Move 'N Groove for Better Health

Move N' Groove, an interactive event for the whole family, is designed to help individuals add physical activity to their daily lives and achieve good heart health.

The Piedmont Hospital sponsored event includes physical activities, education, free health screenings, discussions with physicians, dance instruction and demonstrations, door prizes and more, according to a hospital announcement.

Participants will enjoy special performances and learn how to increase their heart rate with line dance, cha cha, swing, belly dancing and Zumba. Move ‘n Groove will also offer mini sports camps and Tai Chi. Free health screenings and education will include blood pressure checks, cholesterol and glucose screenings, sleep health assessments, flu shots and much more. Piedmont physicians will also be on hand to answer a variety of health questions.

Also available are free COPD education and screenings, featuring lung health testing and the COPD Foundation’s COPD Shuttle: Journey to the Center of the Lung. The shuttle is a 20-seat, state-of-the-art mobile motion simulator that immerses riders on a journey through the lungs to see the harmful effects of smoking.

Admission is free but registration is encouraged.
