Loretto Hospital will host its 3rd Annual Back-to-School Fitness Fun Fest on August 3, 2013. The back-to-school fitness fun fest is an effort by Loretto Hospital and its partnering sponsors to decrease obesity in the inner city by introducing Chicago-area children to healthy and active lifestyle choices while having fun doing it. As an added attraction, this year, the hospital is featuring its Birth-day Baby Celebration for adults born at Loretto Hospital.

The event will begin at 10am to 2:30pm at Loretto Hospital in the Harrison Street entrance parking lot. Participants will enjoy entertainment and activities, including: fitness stations; jumping and rock climbing inflatables; nutritional stations; the Jessie White Tumblers; celebrity guests and much more.
