Walk with a Doc (WWAD) is coming to the RA Centre!

Join this free community walking program starting in September!

Walk with a Doc is a nonprofit organization started in 2005 by Dr. David Sabgir, a cardiologist in Columbus Ohio. Dr. Sabgir invited members of his community to walk with him regularly – addressing their inquiries about a range of health topics. This FREE program now extends around the globe – with hundreds of communities enjoying the countless benefits of walking with their healthcare providers on an ongoing basis.

At Walk with a Doc, a healthcare professional typically starts the event with a brief discussion on a topic of their choice. The rest of their time is spent walking and talking with participants in a fun, relaxed setting. At each event, you’ll have the opportunity to walk at a pace and distance with which you are comfortable.

We’re very excited to have Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng leading our walks at the RA! Join Dr. K for a session every 2nd Saturday of the month at 11:00am, beginning September 13!

Affectionately known as Dr. K, he cares for extremely ill patients in the Ottawa Hospital’s ICU. But his mission extends far beyond treating illness.

Dr. K is dedicated to transforming healthcare so fewer patients require intensive care. Through passionate advocacy and innovation, Dr. K is reshaping health and wellness for future generations. Featured locally and nationally on the news, as well as Newsweek and Vogue, Dr. K is nationally recognized for innovative solutions promoting health prevention and wellness. He is the founder of Gyata Nutrition and co-founder of Osler AI and Lionheart Innovation, which aim to create impactful, efficient healthcare strategies. He is also the author of Unapologetic Leadership, which inspires bold, values-driven leadership. 

We invite you to take this incredible opportunity to walk, learn more about relevant health topics, and have your questions answered through organic discussion with a medical professional from our community. Bring a friend or meet a new friend at the walks!
