The 4th annual Baxter Regional Medical Center Active Lifestyle Institute Jingle Bell Fun Run/Walk is scheduled for Saturday, December 7, 2013 beginning at 9:00 a.m. on the BRMC campus. All proceeds will benefit the four BRMC community health education and support houses: Mruk Family Education Center on Aging, Peitz Cancer Support House, Reppell Diabetes Learning Center and Schliemann Center for Womenandrsquo;s Health Education. In 2012, more than 16,000 people passed through the doors of these four community health education and support houses and took advantage of their programs and services, most of which are free of charge. Community support keeps those doors open!
