Walk with a Doc is a walking program for everyone interested in taking steps for a healthier lifestyle. You’ll take a few minutes to learn about a current health topic from a healthcare professional, then spend the rest of the hour enjoying a healthy walk and fun conversation. It’s a great way to get out, get active, and enjoy all the benefits that come from walking. Walk your own pace and distance.
The group meets the first Saturday of each month at 10:00 a.m. at Midland Greenway – 682 Grove Street, Gainesville, GA. In case of inclement weather, they meet at Great American Cookie Company at Lakeshore Mall – 150 Pearl Nix Parkway. Visit the Walk with a Doc website to learn more.
