July 6, 2009, Gallipolis - On May 2, 2009 over 250 recipients came out for the 1st annual Holzer Heart Run & Walk. Holzer Cardiovascular Institute, and a combined effort of Holzer Clinic and Holzer Medical Center, sponsored this event to raise awareness about heart health and to honor the survivors within the community. The events of the day included a Kids Fun Run, 5k Run/Walk, and a 10K run.

The Event raised approximately $3,200.00 that was donated to the local chapter of the American Red Cross that performs monthly blood drives, and provides free CPR training for the community, assists in local disaster relief, as well as other services in Gallia County.
