Stay healthy and informed at Nanaimo’s Walk With Your Doc event
NANAIMO — Going for an early morning walk doesn’t have to be done alone.
Island Health’s annual Walk With Your Doc event is Saturday, May 13 at Maffeo Sutton Park starting at 10 a.m. where anyone can take a stroll with local doctors and other health-minded people.
Dr. Derek Poteryko, a local family physician and medical doctor of community health, said it’s an opportunity to get the exercise you need and also ask any pressing questions.
“We walk the walk and talk the talk,” he said. “We may still prompt you back to your physician…but we’re there to answer your health-related questions.”
