FALL RIVER, Mass. — Southcoast Health System will host "Take a Step for Healthy Kids," a free community event focused on kids' health, on Saturday, July 28, in Fall River.

Join the Southcoast Cardiac Prevention Team from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Fall River Heritage State Park's Visitor's Center on Davol Street for fun-filled, healthy activities for kids including:

• Where Fitness Meets Fun. Get your kids moving and grooving! Participate in fun, healthy activities lead by WiggleKids "Coach Kim."
