Youngstown State University’s Bitonte College of Health and Human Services is continuing its commitment to public health by supporting Walk with a Doc, a free community wellness initiative.
The program, held at 10 a.m. at the Southern Park Mall, features YSU faculty members leading discussions on health topics before guiding participants on a walk.
Upcoming dates and topics sessions include:
No registration is required, and all are welcome to join. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with healthcare professionals, ask questions and learn practical ways to improve their well-being through movement.
Walk with a Doc is a nonprofit started in 2005 by Dr. David Sabgir, a Columbus cardiologist. Initially aimed at helping patients increase physical activity, the program’s benefits go far beyond a simple walk. It provides a space to build friendships, spend time in nature and receive free health education.
According to the American Heart Association, walking 30 minutes a day can improve blood pressure, boost mental well-being and lower the risk of osteoporosis. For more information, visit walkwithadoc.org
