Salinas Valley Health invites the community to Walk With A Doc. This event encourages healthy physical activity in people of all ages. Board certified physicians will make presentations on specific health topics prior to the one hour walk and answer people’s questions during and after the walk.
This is a great opportunity to get to know our physicians and ask them questions in an informal, fun and healthy environment. The free walks will take place once a month on Saturday mornings.
The nationwide Walk With A Doc is a non-profit organization started in 2005 and has expanded across the United States. Participants can walk at their pace, with friends, or with a group while engaging in conversation with physicians.
Walking just 30 minutes a day can reduce the risk of heart disease, improve blood pressure and blood sugar, and reduce the risk of osteoporosis, cancer and even diabetes. At the walks, participants can have their blood pressure taken and then walk between 1.5- 2 miles. Healthy snacks and health information will be provided to participants.
