Walk With Ease – Iowa Falls
EVENT DETAILS
Northeast Iowa Area Agency on Aging is bringing the Arthritis Foundation’s  Walk With Ease program to the community this summer.

Barlow Memorial Library, 921 Washington Ave., Iowa Falls, Iowa, from June 30 through August 11, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Developed by the Thurston Arthritis Research Center and the Institute on Aging at the University of North Carolina, Walk With Ease is more than just a walking program.
