Walk With a Doc: Take a Step Toward Better Health
Simple walking improves your health. Just 30 minutes of walking a day can reduce your risk of heart disease, improve blood pressure and blood sugar, elevate mood, and reduce risk of osteoporosis, cancer, and diabetes. Join your doctors on a monthly walk to improve your health, learn about important health topics, and meet new friends interested in improving their health with you. You'll get to spend time with your physicians, get to know them, and ask medical questions in an informal, relaxed, and fun way!

Join us! It's open to anyone - we'll look for you at our next Walk with a Doc event!

Open to walkers of all ages
• FREE giveaways
• Blood pressure checks
• Refreshments provided

Read what people are saying about our walk:

 

From Janice:

"This was my first experience and I'll be putting the monthly walks on my "Must Do!" list for this year. Fun, Informative, Invigorating and a great way to start the weekend. Thanks for everything."

From Nanci:

"Good talk from a doc about osteoporosis and basics of how to take care of our bones. And we had a warm up tai-chi w a wonderful lady w good tips. Then the "top doc" told us good guidelines for what to watch for when walking-there was even an ambulance there waiting in case anyone had any troubles. A great group turned out for the walk around the park-everyone was very friendly! And there was fruit salad, yogurt, granola and coffee waiting at the end. Also got my pulse checked by a nurse. Worth getting up early on a Saturday for!"
