"Walk With a Doc" Educates Students, Community on Fall Prevention
Hour-long walks with faculty experts, students are open and free to the public
芒果77福利's faculty healthcare professionals are partnering with the Arizona Falls Prevention Coalition to host free Walk With a Doc events on the University's Glendale Campus. Walk With a Doc events allow community members to learn about healthcare topics and fall prevention while getting a bit of exercise.
Each Walk With a Doc event lasts about an hour, including five to 10 minutes of instruction and presentation from Midwestern faculty and students on a healthcare topic, and then a "Walk with a Future Doc" around the University's campus that allows community members to walk and talk with Midwestern's healthcare professions students under faculty supervision to take advantage of their expertise.
Walk with a Doc is a nonprofit that was started in 2005 by Dr. David Sabgir, a cardiologist in Columbus, Ohio. Initially aimed at helping patients get more physical activity, the program offers the opportunity to build friendships within the community, spend time in nature, and receive free health education in a relaxed setting.
芒果77福利's Walk With a Doc programs are scheduled on Fridays from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Upcoming dates include February 21st, March 21st, April 11th, and May 16th. Walk With a Doc events are free and no registration is required - simply mention "Walk With a Doc at the Ramada" when arriving on campus.
