Rich Lisitano, president, L+M Healthcare, and executive vice president, Yale New Haven Health, has been named chair of the 2025 Eastern Connecticut Heart Walk presented by Yale New Haven Health.
The annual walk will be Sunday, Oct. 5. Lisitano encouraged employees across the health system to join the walk or consider donating to one of the many participating L+M and YNHHS teams.
As chair, Lisitano will lead organizational efforts in Greater New London to raise awareness of heart disease and stroke while highlighting efforts to improve lives and communities. He will call on area volunteers, survivors and business leaders to support the organization’s efforts.
“The work of the American Heart Association is critical to the health of our communities, and I am honored to serve as chair,” Lisitano said. “L+M Hospital and Yale New Haven Health are long-time supporters of the American Heart Association because our efforts to improve lives and communities in our region so closely align.”
As the signature fundraising event for the American Heart Association since 1994, the Heart Walk promotes physical activity and heart-healthy living in a fun family environment.
