Join us today for our weekly "Walk with a Doc". Dr. Emily Sheahan, Medical Director of Community Health, will lead the walk and discuss a different weekly topic.

The group will meet in front of the hospital at 12:30 pm, and Dr. Sheahan will briefly discuss the health topic. After the discussion, the group will head out on the walking path that encircles the hospital campus. This loop is approximately half a mile long, flat, and well-equipped with resting benches. This walk is appropriate for all fitness levels!

Dr. Sheahan is available and ready to answer your general health and well-being questions during the walk. She will not answer any personal health questions that would be better addressed in a clinical appointment to protect your privacy.

Come join us in taking the first step to better health!
