POCATELLO — Portneuf Health Trust will host a dog walk at the Portneuf Wellness Complex on Wednesday, June 22.

“We have wellness walks every Wednesday at the Wellness Complex,” said Micaela Knickerbocker, Portneuf Health Trust Community Wellness Coordinator. “We try to have different themed walks, so we’re going to be doing a dog walk theme.”

Knickerbocker explained that the wellness walks are part of Portneuf Health Trust’s efforts to make Pocatello and Chubbuck the healthiest cities in the U.S.

“We looked at what other healthy cities do,” she said. “They have walking groups. That’s why we started doing this. We’re hoping to bring more people in.”

Knickerbocker explained that they will be hosting their fourth walk this week. So far, they have been fairly successful.

“We have a pretty good size group,” she said. “I hope that continues to grow.”

Anyone hoping to participate in the dog walk can meet at the Portneuf Wellness Complex on June 22 at 5:30 p.m. The walk will start at Pavilion 2. Dog treats will be provided.
