About Walk with a Doc

The Walk with a Doc concept is simple: physicians organize walks in their communities and invite their patients, their patients’ families and community members to join them. Walkers will enjoy a refreshing and invigorating walk with a provider from UT Health Physicians, who will provide support to participants and answer questions during the walk.

Walking is one of the simplest, best things people can do to live a long, high-quality life. Walk with a Doc makes it easy by providing the time, place, motivation and fellow participants for a fun walking experience.

The event is free and all are welcome! Preregistration is not required. This doctor-led group is a fun and safe place to go for a walk, learn about health and meet new friends. For more information, visit the UT Health Physicians Walk with a Doc website.
