PLATTSBURGH, NY —The next Walk With a Doc will bring spring to your health routine. The walk, offered by the University of Vermont Health Network—Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital (CVPH) Family Medicine Residency, will take place on Saturday, March 23, at 10 a.m. at the YMCA on the Oval.

The walk is an opportunity to get your steps in, meet some new friends and get your questions answered by a local physician. Aaron Rode, MD, a Family Medicine Resident, leads the event. Good walking shoes and appropriate attire are recommended. It is free and open to all.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), walking provides numerous benefits to overall health. It helps decrease the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease while improving mental health.
