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 Workman Sports and Wellness

Complex. In the spring, summer and fall seasons (April through October), the walks will be held

at outside locations.

“Walk With a Doc” was created by Dr. David Sabgir, a cardiologist who practices at Mount

Carmel Health Systems in Columbus, OH and he has been walking every weekend since 2005.

The expansion and support of the program are thanks to Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield.
