Med Center Health starting new “Walk With a Doc” program

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Health is always top of mind at Med Center Health, and it is offering a new opportunity for people to speak with local doctors and learn more about maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Med Center will introduce “Walk With a Doc” this week. The program creates a weekly opportunity for patients to connect with doctors, learn about healthy lifestyles, and ask questions. Organizers say the benefits go both ways for patients and physicians.

“I think it helps to humanize patients and, in reverse, humanize doctors to patients,” one physician said. “There are studies that show doctors who don’t exercise don’t tend to counsel their patients on exercise, and doctors who don’t watch their diet don’t tend to counsel on diet.”

“Walk With a Doc” begins this weekend at Greenwood Mall at 10:15 a.m.
