Start A Walk Chapter

Thank you for your interest in increasing the health and happiness of your community!

Since 2005, Walk with a Doc has helped thousands of healthcare providers and community leaders start walking programs in communities around the world. Each “chapter” offers free events throughout the year that begin with a brief discussion on a current health topic, followed by the opportunity to walk and talk together as a group. The program focuses on four key elements: physical activity, health education, social connection, and spending time in nature.

We are here to support you – every STEP of the way. Our team provides turn-key resources to help you hit the ground running walking! Start a new chapter in your area and receive all of the tools below for as little as $750. If cost is a barrier for you or your team, please know that we’re a nonprofit and have several funding options to help, thanks to the generous support of our donors and sponsors.
