Walk With A Doc Lebanon, PA

10/19/2026

We had so much fun at our 4th anniversary walk on Saturday! After our year-in-review talk and walk, we enjoyed some snacks and time together and celebrated our pumpkin winners. We had raffle prizes that correlated with some of our talk topics this year as well as some of our recurring themes: stay active and socially engaged, eat healthy, and keep learning! So grateful for this group of people who keep showing up for themselves and for each other. Looking forward to walking into another year together!

Sending out a big thank you to Dr. Ramsha Mahmood for giving us a great talk on AI in medicine at last month’s walk. AI is increasingly used to help with medical documentation as well as to help guide medical providers in medical decision making. And how many of you have turned to Dr. AI at some point to help figure out symptoms you may be experiencing and what can be done it them? Poor Dr. Google has been forced out of practice. 😄

Our next walk — which will also be our FOUR year anniversary walk!!!🎊— is Saturday, October 17th at 10am at Union Canal Tunnel Park. We will have our annual pumpkin prizes as well as raffle prizes and some nibbles. Hope to see you there. 🎃

Look everyone! The national WWAD page featured our lil ole Lebanon chapter in their post as they highlighted COMMUNITY as the heart of WWAD. I stand by my quote here. I love the community of walkers we have created! If you haven't yet joined us, we invite to come be part of it.

We walk tomorrow morning, Sept 19th, at 10am at Union Canal Tunnel Park. Hope to see you there!

Community is at the heart of Walk with a Doc. 💙👟

For chapter leader Anna Deraco, PA-C, one of the most meaningful parts of WWAD is watching relationships grow — not only between leaders and walkers, but among walkers themselves.

Every walk is an opportunity to move, learn, connect, and maybe even leave with a new friend. 🌎💚

We want to hear from you: What’s your favorite connection, friendship, or memory you’ve made through Walk with a Doc?

Hello walkers of Lebanon!

If you missed our August walk, you missed our talk on GLP-1s, the weekly injectable medication that's all the buzz for weight loss these days. Originally FDA-approved and marketed for treatment of type 2 diabetes, these meds have quickly become one of the most sought after medications in the country, both in clinics and online, mostly for weight loss. These medications are also FDA-approved for prevention of heart attacks in people with heart disease, to slow progression of chronic kidney disease; as treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, and for advanced liver fibrosis. There are also emerging studies to show their effectiveness as adjunct therapies for knee arthritis, depression, and addiction, among other things. Holy cow, it seems like these drugs can do anything. But like any medications, they have their side effects, which are not insignificant, as well as their detractors. Always consult with your primary care provider if you are considering using these meds.

Next walk is Saturday, September 19th at 10am at Union Canal Tunnel Park. Hope to see you there!

Be Well.

Hello walking friends of Lebanon! I'm so excited for our next walk this Saturday, July 18th, when we will welcome Shannon McMinn, Executive of Compeer of Lebanon County, as our guest speaker. Social isolation is harmful for all of us, and even more so for people living with mental illness. I'm excited for Shannon to share her stories of how Compeer is addressing this need here in Lebanon County through the healing power of friendship, connectedness, and belonging.

We'll see you Saturday, July 18th at 10am at Union Canal Tunnel Park!
