Join us for Just a Walk – a free community walking program! Each event is led by a local healthcare advocate/provider, and is open to people of all ages and abilities. The program allows participants to safely take a walk, learn about current health topics, and meet new people. We hope to see you at our next walk!

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 introductions. We’ll then start the walk, meeting new people and starting new conversations about health and wellness. About half way through the walk, we’ll stop and talk about the “health topic of the month”. Our goal is to get active, educate and empower individuals in learning and taking an active role in their health and wellness journey. 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.

Topic: Breathe, Walk, Connect — Breathwork for Heart & Health

This month, we’ll explore breathwork and heart health—and how something we do thousands of times every day can become a simple tool for supporting our health and well-being.

We’ll talk about the connection between our breath, heart, and nervous system, and how slowing the breath may help calm the stress response and support heart rate and blood pressure regulation. We’ll also practice an easy breathing technique you can use throughout your day—before exercise, sleep, a stressful conversation, or anytime you simply need a moment to reset.

Then, as always, we’ll walk, talk, learn, connect, meditate, and share our gratitude with each other.
