The Wright Center For Community Health To Hold Monthly “Walk With A Doc” Events In Hawley

The Wright Center for Community Health invites the community to take a step toward improved health by joining monthly Walk with a Doc events in Hawley.

This physician-led initiative brings healthcare providers and community members together for an invigorating walk with doctors and other healthcare professionals. Participants will have the opportunity to exercise, engage with healthcare professionals, and connect with new people.

The “Walk with a Doc” events in Hawley will be held the first Saturday of each month at 9 a.m. at Bingham Park. Walkers should gather at the Bingham Park sign near the playground. The July event is on July 11 due to the holiday.

The walks are free and open to the community, accommodating people of all ages and fitness levels. No pre-registration is necessary.

“Walk with a Doc” is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring communities through movement and conversation. According to the American Heart Association, walking for just 30 minutes a day can improve blood pressure and blood sugar levels, help maintain a healthy body weight, reduce the risk of obesity, enhance mental well-being, and lower the risk of osteoporosis.
