Good morning! Some weeks we talk about medicine; others we don’t. Let’s cut to the chase. Recently I’ve been getting a lot of slack at our local Walk with a Doc now that our oldest dog, Phoebe, has a Galaxy S24. Our little guy, Henry, does not. He’s only 3 years old – that would be ridiculous. I hear your […]
Good morning! In April of 2005, Dr. David Sabgir decided he’d had enough… Countless conversations with patients, telling them they needed to get more exercise had led nowhere. He had a crazy idea to invite patients to join him for a walk in the park. The rest is history. To celebrate the 19th anniversary of Walk with a Doc, […]
National Walking Day is on April 3, 2024! Our team at Walk with a Doc has had this date circled on our calendar for months. While we tend to find every reason we can to brag about the life-changing power of walking, the 1st Wednesday of April always gives us a good excuse to take […]
Good morning! Apologies in advance. I know I’m supposed to ‘behave’ because I’m a cardiologist, but sometimes I just love to write from the front of my mind/top of my heart. So, I just absolutely love it when there’s a really important problem and a very simple solution that actually makes life a lot better […]
Good morning! How’s your March Maddness bracket this morning? Plenty of great basketball yesterday and certainly more to come today. On the way home from the office Wednesday, I stopped by our neighborhood IGA grocery store. I wanted to pick up some fresh produce for good, crisp, March Madness snacking. The cashier was Joe Inglehoff, […]
Disclaimer #1: In reality, the colonoscopy I had was possibly the easiest thing I’ve ever done in my life. I had put it off for a year, being fearful of all the reasons you can imagine. Well, there was no need for that. With the medications they give you, I don’t remember a single thing. […]
We are excited to announce that this week in a White House ceremony to celebrate the new partners joining the White House Challenge to End Hunger and Build Healthy Communities, Walk with a Doc’s commitment was added to the movement! The White House Challenge is a nationwide call-to-action to stakeholders across all of society to make bold commitments to advance President Biden’s goal to […]
Good morning! Thank you for being here, it means a lot to us. We’ve been asked several times over the years what led to the start of wwad. We could tell you, but we’d rather show you. Any chance you could see our first patient with us this morning? I’m serious. We’d prefer to see all of […]
Good morning! I hope this beautiful Friday morning finds you well. We received a call last Sunday a.m. that our team felt we should share with the group. I was in WWAD World HQ, dusting off a few of Rachael’s awards when the office phone rang. 6:56 Sunday a.m.?? The caller ID read ‘Past‘. I cautiously […]
Gebre Nida grew up in a rural Ethiopian village where nearly everyone struggled to survive. “Everything was in short supply except air, sun, and soil,” says Nida. “Walking for several miles barefoot was not a big deal. I got my first pair of shoes at age 14.” Looking back, Gebre had no idea he would […]
