Welcome
to the
West Toronto
Chapter
of
Walk with a Doc
Walk with a Doc is an international nonprofit
organization started by Dr. David Sabgir, a cardiologist
in Columbus Ohio. In 2005, Dr. Sabgir invited 100 patients
and community members to go for a walk with him in
a local park. Since that successful day, the movement
has spread around the globe and now hundreds of
communities are enjoying the countless benefits of walking
with their healthcare providers on an ongoing basis.
What happens during a walk?
People of all ages, fitness levels, and backgrounds are
welcome to these free, ongoing events. After a brief health
discussion from a healthcare provider, participants will
spend the rest of the time enjoying a healthy walk at their
own pace. They are encouraged to ask health questions
and socialize with others in a fun, relaxed setting.
