AARP in Kansas City, in collaboration with University of Missouri at Kansas City’s School of Medicine, is pleased to offer Walk with a Doc. Walk with a Doc is a series of free group monthly walks (third Saturday of each month) that start with a brief health discussion, followed by a physician-led walk. This program is a great opportunity to take a walk in Swope Park, learn about relevant health topics, get some steps in and meet some new people!
Participants walk at their own pace, engage in a discussion on the featured health topic while walking, and are encouraged to ask questions during the discussion. Each session will be about an hour.
All levels of fitness and mobility and ages are welcome.
Although AARP is a sponsor, this is not an AARP event. Please note any information you provide to the host organization shall be governed by its privacy policy.
