Join us at Walk with a Doc – a free community walking program! Each event is led by a local healthcare 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 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.

Mark your calendars for a special Walk with a Doc experience on Saturday, August 29! Instead of our usual walk at Highbanks, we’ll be taking a “field trip” to the Westerville Farmers Market with Dr. David Sabgir.
We’ll start with a walk together on a path in Uptown Westerville before ending at the market, where walkers can browse local vendors, shop for fresh produce, and enjoy everything the community has to offer. It’s the perfect opportunity to combine movement, connection, and healthy living—all in one morning!
Patrons of the Market are asked to park in the lots behind the Cornerstone Community Church, 233 S. State St. – across the street from COhatch.
Please cross State using the adjacent crosswalk at State Street and Bishop Drive.
Additional parking is available a short walk up the Westerville Bike Trail from the Market at the City of Westerville building, 64 E. Walnut St., and the adjacent lots of the Westerville Public Library. Street parking will also be available near the market. Click here for a map of parking.
