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. Participation is free and pre-registration is not required. Walkers will enjoy a refreshing and rejuvenating walk with UC San Diego Family Medicine physicians and other healthcare professionals, who will provide support to participants and answer questions during the walk.

Walk with a Doc is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to encourage healthy physical activity in people of all ages and reverse the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle to improve the health and well-being of the country. Walk with a Doc was started in 2005 by David Sabgir, MD, a board-certified cardiologist in Columbus, Ohio, who practices with the Mount Carmel Health System.
