Walk with a Doc is a global non-profit initiative making healthcare more accessible by bringing doctors and communities together for free, regular walking programs. Led by volunteer physicians, healthcare providers, and medical students, these walks offer a unique opportunity to engage in physical activity, learn about important health topics, and connect with others in your neighborhood. It’s like having a “Walk In Doctor” available in your community, promoting preventative health in a relaxed and social environment.

About Walk with a Doc: Accessible Health for All
Founded in 2005 by cardiologist Dr. David Sabgir, Walk with a Doc began as a simple initiative to encourage patients to be more active. It has since grown into a global movement, recognizing that the benefits extend far beyond just exercise. The program fosters community connections, offers time in nature, and provides valuable health education in an informal, approachable setting – a holistic approach to well-being, making health advice as accessible as a “walk in doctor’s” consultation, but within your community park.
