Walker said, "I can tell you first-hand that a faith-based hospital makes a dramatic difference. The St. Thomas Heart specialists here in Murfreesboro and Nashville not only saved my life, but they made the challenge for my family more bearable." 

The Rutherford County Heart Walk is not only to raise money for the local Heart Association, it is also to raise awareness of this disease that continues to be the number one killer of adult American males and females.
