Since the weather seems to be warming up… Are you getting outside and walking? If you’re like the 85 percent of adults in Franklin County, the answer is probably “no.” Midge Ransom is director of the county Health Department and the department recently issued its annual report for 2018… It shows fewer than 15 percent of adults in the county get the recommended walking exercise of 30 minutes a day… Ransom says just walking around the store doesn’t cut it.
Ransom also revealed recently that Franklin County appears to have the greatest number of people with asthma in the state.
