Walk with a Doc Kids Time
For over 4 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. Starting in April 2020, the Nevada AAP temporarily 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.

For the December 2020 walk, we welcome Dr. Lisa Durette, Program Director of the Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at UNLV School of Medicine, who will give a brief presentation on talking to your teens and tweens about suicide and then take questions live. Printable flyer below.

Walk with a Doc
Free and Kid Friendly
There are 100 reasons to walk!
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.
Starting in April 2020 and until further notice, our monthly Walk with a Doc events will be held virtually (you can also view the past videos below).

For the Las Vegas/Henderson community, the Nevada AAP leads free, kid-friendly Walk with a Doc events the second Sunday of every month. We meet October - May at Springs Preserve in Las Vegas, but we move June - September to Mount Charleston to avoid the heat in the Las Vegas Valley.
The Nevada AAP is proud to lead free, kid-friendly Walk with a Doc events in Reno and Las Vegas.
