It's a chance to talk to a doctor for free and get a little exercise at the same time.
This Saturday(2/17/18) is "Walk with a Doc". It's a collaboration between the Lima Family YMCA and Lima Memorial physicians. Each month, people get a chance to hear from a different doctor on a health topic. Doctor G. Allen Bryant will be covering chronic kidney and diabetic renal disease. The event starts with a short presentation and a walk after.
"They'll walk at their own pace afterwords so they don't have to follow the doc if he's going to walk at a fast pace and they can walk the distance that they want to walk, it's just the idea of getting the community out and walking together," explained Terri Averesch, Vice President of Lima YMCA.
Walk with a Doc is free and everyone is invited to come on out. The event is this Saturday, February 17th, beginning at 9 a.m. in room 305 at the Lima Family YMCA. For more information, call the YMCA at 419-223-6045. If you can't make it to this one, the next walk will be Saturday, March 17th.
