Start your new year right by becoming more active. Join Dr. Wendi Johnson on Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. for Walk with a Doc. People of all ages are encouraged to participate in the health program brings doctors and other healthcare providers and patients together to walk. Walk with Doc has a goal of improving the health of participants. Walkers gather at the Hallett Community Center, hear a brief presentation by Dr. Johnson on the benefits of walking and wellness, and then head to the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Trails near the Croft Mine to walk at their own pace. According to Dr. Johnson, increasing exercise, even moderately, may help reduce the risks of many diseases, including coronary heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. Adding 10 minutes of physical activity a day, such as walking, is a small change that can make a big difference. CRMC teamed up with Walk with a Doc to bring the international program to the Cuyuna Lakes.
