The money is still rolling in, but the Greater Nashville Heart Walk has already raised $1.5 million in its fight against heart disease and stroke as well as to provide funding for public and professional education and community service programs. More than $93,000 of that came from Vanderbilt Health teams.

The annual walk, organized by the American Heart Association and sponsored in part by Vanderbilt Health, drew thousands to Geodis Park on Sept. 27. The event, which featured 86 teams from Vanderbilt Health, raises awareness and funds for research, advocacy and CPR training to combat heart disease and stroke.
