Autumn walk of the moving pharmacy promotes health in Wieden

Vienna has a new contact point for health -conscious residents: The initiative "Moving pharmacy" has now also reached the Wieden. This latest expansion enables residents to take part in weekly walking meetings free of charge and easily. The autumn walk, which recently took place on Sankt-Elisabeth-Platz, marks the official start of the initiative in the fourth district.

Representatives from politics and health promotion were present: District leader Lea Halbwidl (SPÖ), Dennis Beck, Managing Director of the Vienna Health Promotion (WIG), and Marion Bittner, the program manager of the "moving pharmacy". Felix Lerch, head of the star pharmacy, was also there. "With the star pharmacy, 20 districts are now part of this remarkable initiative," said Halbwidl.

walking meeting and training options

The walking meetings last one hour each and are initially managed by professional trainers. Later, active participants, who are referred to as "multis", can take over the management. These multis receive free training courses in order to be optimally prepared for your future tasks. In addition, further training and networking meetings are on the program to offer the participants a safe and healthy walking experience.

"We are very pleased that the initiative is now also available in the 4th district. We thus promote the health of the Wieden population," continues Halb -Widl. Especially in an urban environment like Wieden, it is important to create movement incentives to strengthen the community and neighborhood.

Dennis Beck is also pleased with the positive response of the initiative. He emphasizes that the "moving pharmacy" addresses two important aspects for healthy aging: "Healthy movement in the fresh air and the joy of joint activities." The growing number of participants shows that the concept is well received and motivates those responsible to further expand the project.

The walking meetings on Wieden take place every Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. in front of the star pharmacy at Favoritenstraße 25. This requires the population a regular way to be active and at the same time maintain social contacts.
