 Thank you to those of you who joined us for Positive Parenting led by Dr. Rebecca Meyers on October 29, 2022 at Craig Ranch Regional Park in North Las Vegas.

Reno

Although wildfire smoke threatened Reno air quality in the days leading up to our event, on the morning of September 18, the air cleared and we gathered for our hike at the magnificent Rancho San Rafael Regional Park!  Before our hike, we listened to a great talk on Healthy Active Living for Families by Dr. Steven Shane.  Our hike was led by Celia Walker, one of the wonderful Washoe County park rangers who lead many free events for Reno families.

Free and Kid Friendly

There are 100 reasons to walk! Family walks are a positive childhood experience and it satisfies the "1" in your daily 5-2-1-0 healthy active living checklist!


Walk with a Doc (WWAD) was started in Columbus, Ohio in April of 2005 by Dr. David Sabgir and has now expanded throughout the world. With an aim to make hope and health accessible to all, WWAD doctor-led walking groups are a safe, fun, and FREE place to get some steps, learn about health, and meet new friends. 

The Nevada AAP is proud to lead kid-friendly Walk with a Doc events in Las Vegas, Reno, and online.

Nevada AAP WWAD Information

History

For over 6 years, the Nevada Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (Nevada AAP) has led in-person Walk with a Doc events to encourage families to learn about pediatric health topics and then go for a walk with doctors in our community.

COVID-19

Starting in April 2020, the Nevada AAP changed our monthly in-person Walk with a Doc events for the Las Vegas and Reno communities into one, state-wide virtual event the second Sunday of every month as we waited for COVID-19 vaccine for kids 6 months and older. Past English-language videos and post-walk newsletters can be viewed when you scroll down this page.

Sign up to hear from us about upcoming monthly walks. We only email our subscribers twice a month: once to announce the monthly event topic and once with post-walk/talk resources. Watch past walk recordings and read past issues of our post-walk newsletters below -- there is a "Join Our Email List" button on each newsletter.
