Walk with a Doc!–An International Network of Doctors Who Walk with Their Patients

Share On Social!

Most physicians would agree that walking is a valuable way of getting necessary amounts of physical activity. It’s free and it’s healthy. But how many can say that they actually walk with their patients? Well Dr. David Sabgir, a cardiologist from Ohio, can!

Now physicians all across the nation are joining Dr. Sabgir in getting their patients to walk! Perhaps there’s a physician in your city who’s also chosen to lead a walking group.

To find out if a doctor near you is leading a walking group, check out the Walk With a Doc map.
