Calendar: Walk With A Doc

Walk with a Doc (WWAD) is a national program that encourages healthy physical activity in people of all ages, in order to improve the health and well-being for all. Created in 2005 by Dr. David Sabrig, a cardiologist in Columbus, Ohio who was frustrated with his inability to effect behavior change in the clinical setting, he invited his patients to go for a walk with him in a local park on a Saturday morning and to his surprise over 100 people showed up energized and ready to move. WWAD has grown as a grassroots effort, with a model based on sustainability and simplicity. A doctor gives a brief presentation on a health topic and then leads participants on a walk at their own pace.
