Jackson Hospital & Clinic Relaunches Popular ''Walk with a Doc'' Program at New Montgomery Whitewater

Montgomery, AL – Jackson Hospital & Clinic is excited to announce the relaunch of its highly popular "Walk with a Doc" program, now hosted at the scenic Montgomery Whitewater location. In collaboration with Montgomery Whitewater, the program invites Montgomery residents to take a significant step toward better health and well-being by joining their local healthcare providers for an invigorating walk every 4th Friday of the month at 2:00 PM starting Friday March 28. Previously held at Blount Cultural Park, this partnership with Montgomery Whitewater promises a refreshing new environment for community engagement and healthy living.

"Walk with a Doc" is an esteemed international non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring communities through movement and conversation. Open to the entire community, participation in the walks is free, and no pre-registration is required. Walkers will have the unique opportunity to engage with Jackson Hospital & Clinic physicians, who will offer guidance and answer health-related questions during the walks. The program will kick off with Dr. Richard Salazar of neurology leading the inaugural walk.

As endorsed by the American Heart Association, walking for just 30 minutes a day can yield substantial health benefits, including improved blood pressure and blood sugar levels, a lower risk of obesity, enhanced mental well-being, and a reduced risk of osteoporosis. Jackson Hospital & Clinic and Montgomery Whitewater are proud to facilitate such a beneficial program, encouraging the Montgomery community to come together for a healthier future.
