Piedmont Newnan Hospital’s next Walk With a Doc will take place Saturday, May 30, in Carl Miller Park. Dr. Joseph Giovinco, DPM, a podiatrist with Ankle and Foot Centers of Georgia, will lead the walk.
Walkers are encouraged to gather at the park by 8:15 a.m. as the walk begins promptly at 8:30 a.m. Dr. Giovinco will take five minutes to talk about his specialty before leading the walk while he answers questions from participants.
Participants will receive a pedometer to help them keep track of the number of steps taken, as well as a choice of a free T-shirt or water bottle. While the event is free, registration is required by calling 877-527-3712 or visiting piedmont.org/walkwithadoc.
Registration will also be available on site starting at 8 a.m.
Piedmont launched Walk With a Doc after their health needs assessment showed that one in four adults in Coweta County is physically inactive and nearly one in three is considered obese. The walks not only encourage physical fitness, but they give participants one-on-one time with a physician. The walks will be held the fourth Saturday of each month through September.
