Sep. 12, 2018: NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital announced it is hosting the “Be Well Bash,” a wellness and injury prevention event for all ages. This free event will take place Saturday, September 29, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, rain or shine, on the front lawn of Bronxville High School.
NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence is sponsoring this free program for K-12 student athletes, weekend warriors, and seniors. The community can meet clinicians from the Columbia Orthopedics and Sports Medicine program and specialists in primary care, cardiology, and a host of specialties to learn about how to stay healthy and achieve their goals. It will be an afternoon filled with activities including the NFL PLAY 60 Skills and Drills program and the New York City Football Club Street Team program; injury prevention workshops; music; food; entertainment; face painting; and much more.
“Whether you are young or ‘young at heart,’ you can get yourselves active, fit, and strong in a safe and healthy way, and we’ll show you how,” said Michael J. Fosina, MPH, FACHE, president of NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital. “The Be Well Bash will be a fun and casual way for our clinicians to meet the community and answer their questions.”
Members of the Be Well Bash committee are Mayor Mary Marvin, Bronxville Chamber of Commerce executive director Nicole Tuck, Bronxville Chamber of Commerce board member Bob Krause, Bronxville High School athletic director Karen Peterson, and representatives from NewYork-Presbyterian and the Columbia Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Program.
“We are so excited and honored to be the host of what is truly a groundbreaking event in the world of sports and wellness,” said Mayor Mary Marvin. “We hope to be the home of such a positive community event for years to come.”
