SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WAND) — Springfield Memorial Hospital held a ribbon cutting Wednesday for its new walking path around the hospital campus.
The Memorial Mile came from a community needs assessment that listed mental health as a top priority.
Jay Roszhart, the Springfield Memorial Health President and CEO, spoke about the importance of movement and outdoor time.
"Getting outside is so important to health," said Roszhart. "Being able to walk outside not only helps improve heart health, but most importantly its good for your mental health."
