Walk with a Doc ensures that individuals from every background and identity feel welcomed, encouraged, and appreciated at all of their events!

Why join a walk?

Physical Activity
- Regular physical activity, like walking, is one of the single-most important things we can do for both our physical and mental health. It’s good for the heart, brain, bones, lungs, muscles, and even helps prevent many chronic diseases like diabetes and cancer.
Health Education
- Volunteer Walk Leaders are licensed healthcare providers that truly walk the talk! Each Walk with a Doc event starts with a brief discussion on a current health topic, followed by the opportunity to ask questions while the group walks together. Walk Leaders will deliver reliable tips to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Social Connection
- Research suggests that building connections with others can improve your quality of life, boost your mood, and decrease your risk of depression. Walk with a Doc groups are a fun way to get to know new people, or spend time with your neighbors, family, and friends as we all share a common goal: walking TOGETHER for better health.
Time in Nature
- Did you know that simply spending time in nature can have a powerful impact on your health and well-being? Research suggests that getting outside can reduce stress, depression, and anxiety, and improve sleep, brain function, and your immune system. Many Walk with a Doc events take place outdoors, so come get a dose of “Vitamin N”!
