What happens during a walk?

At each Walk with a Doc event, the participating doctor begins with a brief discussion on a current health topic and then participants spend the rest of the hour enjoying a healthy walk and conversation. During the walk, participants are not just allowed, but emboldened, to ask the doc about health-related issues in a relaxed setting.
