On Wednesday, February 18, 2026, Harris Regional Hospital and Swain Community Hospital will team up with Western Carolina University Athletics to host a heart-healthy community walk on the concourse of the Ramsey Center ahead of the WCU men’s basketball game.
The 25-minute walk, led by Harris Cardiology provider Bryant Reinking, PA-C, will take place from 6:30 PM to 6:55 PM, starting at the Northeast Concourse. Participants are encouraged to meet at 6:25 PM to join local healthcare professionals, WCU fans, and neighbors in taking proactive steps toward heart health.
In addition to the walk, free blood pressure screenings will be available on-site, providing community members with another valuable opportunity to check in on their cardiovascular wellness during American Heart Month.
To celebrate the occasion, 50 free game tickets will be provided to participants of the walk. To reserve your spot and claim your complimentary ticket, please call 828.508.0109 or email lillian.ferguson@lifepointhealth.net.
