You are invited to celebrate with us our 2 year anniversary of our Novant Health Walk with a Doc program. This has been an amazing partnership between primary care and community engagement. As we all know, the health of our patients extends far beyond the four walls of the clinic. Our mission in partnering with Walk with a Doc 2 years ago was to promote healthy behaviors in both our patients and ourselves by inviting them out to walk with us at a local park once a month. Each walk features a local Novant Health clinician or local community partner to give health education followed by a fun, casual walk outdoors at a beautiful park in the sunshine. Studies show that not only does walking improve our mental and physical health, but the other less thought of aspects of being also outside in nature, engaging with our local community and social interactions are equally important to our wellbeing! Our walks target all of those health promoting aspects not just for our patients but for the health care team as well.
