Walk with a Doc

Walk with a Doc is a nonprofit program focused on improving community health through simple, meaningful connection. Each walk is led by a local healthcare provider and combines light physical activity with practical health education in a relaxed, supportive setting. It’s designed to make well-being more approachable while giving participants a chance to ask questions, learn something new and enjoy time outdoors.

Outer Banks Health is proud to bring Walk with a Doc to our community as a free program open to all ages and abilities. Walks are held twice per month, typically on Saturdays at 9 a.m. at the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills. Whether you’re looking to stay active, learn more about your health or meet new people, we invite you to join us at an upcoming walk.

Join Erin Baker, DO, FAAFP, DipABLM from Outer Banks Family Medicine – Manteo for the first event in our new Walk with a Doc series, kicking off during Star Spangled Saturday with Outer Banks Sporting Events. The walk is open to people of all ages and abilities and allows participants to safely take a walk, learn about current health topics and meet new people. The Thrive Bites trailer will be on-site giving out free samples of a healthy snack! Dr. Baker will share brief remarks around 8:40 a.m., and the walk will begin at 8:50 a.m. We will meet at the Thrive Bites trailer parked on the back side of the memorial, near the starting line of the Flying Pirate race.
