In June of 2021, we had the great pleasure of interviewing Dr. David Sabgir, MD FACC, a cardiologist with OhioHealth in New Albany.
Dr. Sabgir is also the founder and CEO of Walk with a Doc.
We were very excited to see him spotlighted in The Columbus Dispatch in June 2024.
Walk with a Doc was started in 2005 by Dr. David Sabgir in Columbus, Ohio.
Frustrated with his inability to affect behavior change in the clinical setting, Dr. Sabgir invited his patients to go for a walk with him in a local park on a spring Saturday morning.
To his surprise, over 100 people showed up, energized and ready to move.
Since that first event in 2005, Walk with a Doc has grown as a grassroots effort with a model based on sustainability and simplicity.
Physical activity is done a lot for me and my life. And, you know, I imagine we’ll get to this as far as, you know, the benefits and really transform the way I would go through my days and how I felt. And I really wanted every one that I came across in the office at least to be able to experience that same joy.
Dr. David Sabgir
The reach of Walk with a Doc now extends all around the globe with over 500 chapters worldwide, including Walk with a Future Doc chapters led by medical students!
We had a great conversation with Dr. Sabgir about the walk, and his amazement of the growth worldwide. He also offers up some very specific positive physical and mental changes that can happen to all of us when we start walking.
