(Crosby, MN) — Cuyuna Regional Medical Center and Dr. Wendi Johnson are continuing on with their weekly Walk with the Doc, a free health program that brings doctors and other healthcare providers and patients together to walk.

Today, Wednesday, September 1st, Walk with the Doc begins at 4:30pm at the Hallett Community Center in Crosby. Participants hear a brief presentation on the benefits of walking and wellness and then head to the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Trails near the Croft Mine to walk at their own pace. The goal of the program is to help improve the health of participants.

Other helpful lifestyle changes including increasing exercise, may help reduce the risks of many diseases like coronary heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. Adding 10 minutes of physical activity a day, such as walking, is a small change that can make a big difference.
