The Geisinger College’s School of Medicine and its Family Medicine Interest Group are hosting a free, medical student-led walk on Saturday, March 22, at 9 a.m. Participants will gather at the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail, Olive Street Trailhead in Scranton. Should it rain, the event will be relocated to the Mall at Steamtown.
The walk is designed for attendees to benefit from both physical activity and health education. It will start with a brief discussion on a health topic, followed by an opportunity for participants to engage in conversation while walking alongside medical students, faculty, and staff from Geisinger School of Medicine.
"Walk with a Doc is an opportunity to build friendships, spend time in nature and receive free health education in a relaxed setting," according to the organizers.
