The Wright Center for Community Health to host August ‘Walk with a Doc’ events in Scranton and Jermyn

The Wright Center for Community Health is encouraging people of all ages to attend its August “‘Walk with a Doc” wellness events.

These community walks are led by local physicians and healthcare professionals. They offer an easy, fun and social way to get moving while engaging in health-focused conversations. Participants enjoy light exercise, have the opportunity to ask health-related questions and connect with others in a relaxed, informal setting.

The July Walk with a Doc in Jermyn will be held on Saturday, Aug. 22, at 9 a.m. at the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail. Walkers should gather at the Delaware Street Trailhead entrance. The Scranton walk is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 8, at 9 a.m., also along the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail, with walkers meeting at the Olive Street entrance.

The events are free and open to the public. People of all fitness levels are welcome, and no registration is required.
