Me and My Doctor: TMA Piloting New Project: Walk with a Doc

?

Dr. Pike, member of the Texas Medical Association Foundation Board of Trustees and a plastic surgeon with Scott & White Healthcare, is the first physician in Texas to pilot the program. ?I see this as a prescription for healthier living.?I can help my patients?take ?actual? steps toward improving their health and fitness, while having fun,? says Dr. Pike.

?

Walk with a Doc was started in Columbus, Ohio, in 2005 and has expanded to 23 states. The program encourages walking because it is easier on the joints than running. Plus, it?s safe ? with a doctor?s consent ? for people with orthopedic ailments and heart conditions, and for those more than 20 percent overweight.

Dr. Pike is hosting the walk again Saturday, Nov. 3, at 9 am and on Dec. 8 at 9 am. At each walk, she will address a different health topic and answer questions.? If you want to walk with Dr. Pike, meet her at San Gabriel Park in Georgetown.
