In 2017 Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System launched Walk With A Doc. The program has been successful in both engaging community members and creating great exposure for local physicians. Walks are held once a month on Saturdays at Fort Ord National Monument Badger Hills and last approximately one hour. Physicians give a 10-minute presentation before heading out on a 2 mile walk with community members.
If you’re interested in leading a Walk With A Doc event, please contact Amanda Meyer, SVMHS Health Promotion Manager, at ameyer@svmh.com
Please note the program is currently on hold due to COVID-19, however, we will reach out to you once this program resumes.
Blue Zones Project works to improve what we call the "life radius," the 5-10 miles around a person's home where they spend over 90% of their time. We work with community leaders to implement built environment, tobacco, food and alcohol policies that optimize environments to support well-being. We engage places where community residents live, work, learn, and play to make healthy choices easier, and we activate individuals to improve their well-being through purpose workshops, social groups, volunteering, cooking demonstrations, and personal pledges.
Bring health and well-being to your practice by becoming a Blue Zones Project Participating Organization. To learn more about how you can optimize your physical environment to make healthy choices easier and foster stronger social connections, contact Lisa Wegley.
