Walk Leader Sign-Up (Central Ohio)

About Walk with a Doc:

Walk with a Doc (WWAD) is a nonprofit founded in 2005 in Central Ohio by cardiologist David Sabgir. What began as a single community walk in Westerville has grown to more than 700 “chapters” around the world. By bringing healthcare providers into local parks for group walks, the program creates meaningful opportunities to promote health beyond the clinic walls. Walk with a Doc helps make movement, health education, social connection, and time in nature accessible to all.
