Walk with your Doc

Take steps together towards good health. Patients get moving with BC's doctors!

Why do doctors want to walk with patients? Because it’s the best prescription for health they can give you.

Doctors in BC get communities moving

Walk with your Doc – one of Doctors of BC’s flagship public health campaigns – is just around the corner, taking place May 5 - 13.  It’s a time when we see physicians across the province organize and host a short walk with their patients to impress upon them the benefits of daily exercise. It’s a time when doctors can discuss with their patients the benefits of daily activity in an informal, casual setting, and how to take steps to start. Since 2014, more than 15,000 British Columbians have joined 1,200 doctors to Walk with their Doc.

To encourage walking beyond this one week event, all participants receive pedometers to count their steps and monitor their daily activity.
