A free community group walk titled Walk with a Doc is available to the public. The event features an expert who will spend a few minutes discussing a current health topic before leading a one-hour healthy walk.
Participants are encouraged to bring friends and their own water to the event.
All participants must register prior to the start time of the event. The walking activity is noted for several health benefits, including improving mood, reducing stress, and lowering blood pressure.
