Weekly Walk With A Doc kicks off May 26 in Michigan City

A healthy dose of information and fitness will be available at the LaPorte County Family YMCA Michigan City Elston Branch at 5PM each Wednesday from May 26 to Sept. 29.

Franciscan Health’s Walk With A Doc program is the perfect way to supplement a walking or exercise regimen. The benefits of walking include weight loss, strengthening your heart, lowering blood sugar, easing joint pain, boosting energy and even improving your mood. Each event begins with a brief health talk by a physician or clinical staff member, followed by a 5K walk. The weekly event starts at Elston Door L at the YMCA, 1202 Spring St. Participants can register on site starting at 4:30PM.

Franciscan Health partners with the LaPorte County Family YMCA, Michigan City Police Department and General Insurance Services to bring Walk With A Doc to the public. For more information, email Nila.Williams@FranciscanAlliance.org or kworkman@lpymca.org with questions.
