Piedmont Newnan Hospital continues its season of Walk With a Doc with a physician who can offer plenty of advice on pregnancy, childbirth and disorders of the reproductive system.
All members of the Coweta County community are invited to join up with Dr. Tia Guster, obstetrics and gynecology, Saturday, June 27 at Carl Miller Park (70 Sewell Road in Newnan).
Dr. Guster earned her medical degree from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in Chapel Hill and completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Emory University.
Prior to joining Piedmont Physicians, Dr. Guster was in practice at Ladies First of Dothan in Dothan, Ala. She is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology and is a member of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Medical Association.
Walkers are encouraged to gather at the park by 8:15 a.m. as the walk begins promptly at 8:30 a.m. Dr. Guster will take five minutes to talk about pregnancy and child birth before leading participants on a walk through the park while she answers questions from participants.
Participants will receive a pedometer to help them keep track of the number of steps they take, 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 give participants one-on-one time with a physician. The walks will be held the fourth Saturday of each month through September.
