Nationwide Better Health will sponsor Dr. David Sabgir’s “Walk with a Doc” event on April 26 that aims to promote exercise and prevent heart disease.

“Dr. Dave” started the event after learning that nearly 98 percent of his patients didn’t exercise. Since its start in 2005, the event attracts an average of 100 attendees and has received national news coverage and great interest from the Central Ohio community.

Nationwide Better Health will kick off the event with tips on reducing stress, along with a light, healthy breakfast. The walk lasts 30-45 minutes which provides plenty of time to ask questions. After the event, participants should be sure to stop back at the picnic area to get their Nationwide Better Health goody bag filled with items to keep their fitness spark going.

When: April 26, 2008 at 8:30 a.m.

Who: Nationwide Better Health and Dr. David Sabgir
