Community members are invited to participate in Piedmont Fayette Hospital’s July Walk with a Doc featuring orthopaedic surgeon Michael Behr, MD.
The walk will take place Saturday, July 16, 8:30-9:30 a.m. This year, each Walk with a Doc event will begin at the Peachtree City Farmer’s Market at the Aberdeen Village Shopping Center (215 Northlake Drive in Peachtree City).
“Walk with a Doc is a great event,” said Chris Moore, supervisor of the Piedmont Fayette Fitness Center and one of the event organizers. “Where else can you get a healthy dose of education and exercise in the same place. We’re looking forward to Dr. Behr leading this month’s event.”
