The American Heart Association says walking can make a huge difference to your overall health. A press release explains, "walking as little as 30 minutes a day can improve blood pressure and blood sugar levels, help maintain a healthy body weight and lower the risk of obesity, enhance mental well-being, and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Find out more about "Walk with a Doc" below.

This free event is open to everyone. During each walk you'll be able to ask doctors any questions you might have.
