Northwest Trek is in partnership with St. Joseph Heart & Vascular Center for the Trek Trackin' walking program. People involved in St. Joseph's walking programs are eligible to pick up a passport to walk the core area and nature trails at the park free of charge. Turn in your passport in the gift shop each time and if you have come the most often and walked the most miles by Dec. 31, you and a companion will get a special Behind-the-Scenes tour.

You can join in the fun with an on-line walking log on the Franciscan Web site and receive information and more to help you along your road to good health. St. Joseph Heart & Vascular Center and Trek want to promote heart-healthy lifestyles with this invitation to exercise.

More information on St. Joseph Heart & Vascular Center walking programs and heart care is available on the Franciscan Health System Web site.

Franciscan Health System operates St. Clare Hospital in Lakewood, St. Francis Hospital in Federal Way and St. Joseph Hospital in Tacoma.
