HSHS St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital will host their next monthly “JustWalk™” Walk With a Doc walking program on Saturday, September 17 at 9 a.m. at the TREC Trail.  Walkers should meet in the Effingham Performance Center parking lot. For those unable to walk on the trail, a doctor will be available to walk with walkers in the EPC parking lot.

Walkers will enjoy a refreshing and rejuvenating walk with Ryan Jennings, MD, St. Anthony’s Chief Medical Officer, and other health care professionals, who will provide support to the walkers and answer questions during the walk.

St. Anthony’s is also offering an evening walk in the month of September on Tuesday, September 20 at 6:30 p.m., at the Ballard Nature Center on US Route 40, Altamont.  Walkers should meet in the Ballard Nature Center parking lot. Walkers will be joined by Dr. Jennings and other health care professionals who will provide support to the walkers and answer questions during the walk.

This is a FREE program and pre-registration is not required. Walks will be held monthly, on the third Saturday of each month.  During the winter months (November through March) and when there is inclement weather, the walks will be held at the Village Square Mall.  In the spring, summer and fall seasons (April through October), the walks will be held at outside locations.
