Our walks are free and open to everyone who would like to join us, and we will be walking every Friday in September, October and November! Our next “Walk with a Doc” will be held in Wellesley on Friday, September 11 at 8:00 am. We will discuss a health topic for a few minutes and then we will take a 40-45 minute walk along the Fuller Brook Path. It’s a beautiful, flat, cleared trail. Meet up down the street from the Wellesley Whole Foods, next to the High School Track/Football Field in the parking lot (Google map location is here) at the Map House. If you have trouble parking in the small lot, we’ve heard that Whole Foods customers are welcome to park in their nearby lot.

The 20-year-old Walk with a Doc movement has hundreds of chapters around the world. These doctor-led walking groups are safe, fun, and free community events where participants learn about a health topic from a healthcare professional, take a walk (or roll) at their own pace, and meet new people.

Our upcoming Health topics include:

September 11: Importance of Annual Vaccines
September 18: Over-the-Counter Meds & Safety: What should be in your medicine cabinet?
September 25: Can you reverse or prevent Prediabetes/Diabetes?
October 2: Breast Cancer Awareness
October 9: Let’s talk about Poop!
October 16: Prostate Health
