The Albemarle County Medical Society (ACMS) was established in 1933.   ACMS offers a diverse group of academic and community physician opportunities to advocate for their patients, their profession and share educational and social events.  ACMS physicians practice or reside in Albemarle or the surrounding counties.  Members reflect many specialties with varying interests.  We may be in private practice, be employees, retired, residents or medical students.  By sponsoring ” Walk with a Doc”   we wish to encourage our patients and ourselves to develop the positive habits that allow us to be healthier persons, healthier families and in the end, a healthier community.

Take a Step Toward Better Health at Walk with a Doc

WALK

Walking is one of the best things you can do for both your physical and mental health! At each event, you’ll have the opportunity to walk at a pace and distance that you’re comfortable with.

LEARN ABOUT HEALTH

Each event starts with a brief discussion on a health topic from a local physician, healthcare provider, or medical student. You’ll also have the opportunity to chat with the leader and ask questions during the walk.

MEET NEW PEOPLE

Research shows that socializing with others is extremely important for our health. Bring a friend or meet a new friend at the walks.
