All are invited to join a variety of St. Lawrence County healthcare providers for a walk on the Gouverneur and St. Lawrence County Fairgrounds track at 10 a.m. Saturday, August 31 and discover a new and safe place to walk.

This latest St. Lawrence County Public Health “Walk With a Doc” event is open to the community, as are all Walk With a Docs. It is co-hosted by the Community Health Center of the North Country.

Participation is free and pre-registration is not required. Walkers will enjoy friendly conversation with health care professionals who will provide support and answer questions during the walk. All walks are held the last Saturday of the month.

SLC Public Health invites everyone to check out the county trails site at https://www.stlctrails.com/trails to discover more nearby outdoor walking opportunities.
