Want to enjoy the warm weather and our beautiful TREC trail while getting in shape for this summer? Then join HSHS St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital at their next monthly “JustWalk™” Walk With a Doc walking program on Saturday, June 15 at 9 a.m., to walk the TREC Trail.

To change things up, this monthly walk now starts on a new part of the TREC Trail, in the Kingwood Estates subdivision, at the end of North Kepley Lane. To access this TREC Trailhead, enter North Kepley Lane on your smartphone map app or GPS, or follow the directions below:

At the start of the walk on June 15, there will be a brief talk on poisons. Poisons can be found everywhere, from simple household cleaners to cosmetics to houseplants to industrial chemicals. Even medicines that are taken in the wrong dose, at the wrong time, or by the wrong person can cause a toxic effect. Join Walk with a Doc to learn the symptoms and actions to take in case of poisoning.

Walkers will then enjoy a refreshing and rejuvenating walk on the TREC trail with HSHS St. Anthony’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ryan Jennings and other physicians who will provide support to the walkers and answer questions during the walk. Get your family moving and join the doctors of HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital for a morning walk focused on fun, health and meeting new friends.

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.

For cases of inclement weather, please check the hospital’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/StAnthonysMemorialHospital or listen to local radio stations for notices about cancellation or changes in location.

“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.
