Calling all Health Professionals in BC First Nation communities: Do you "walk the talk" when it comes to patient fitness?
Here's your chance.
Organize a walk in your community the week of May 3rd – 11th, 2014.
Walk with your Doc is an annual event organized by the BC Medical Association's Doctors of BC, celebrating the World Health Organization's Move for Health Day. The First Nations Health Authority is partnering with the BCMA on this event and is challenging Doctors, Community Health Professionals, Health Directors, Nurse and Nurse Practitioners, and Health Centres in BC First Nations communities to organize a walk in your community!
Registering your walk is easy! Visit www.walkwithyourdoc.ca for more information and how to sign up. Organizers will receive a promotional package that includes sign-up sheets, postcards, and pedometers to help promote walking in your community!
"The First Nations Health Authority encourages all First Nations to organize a walk in your community the week of May 3rd – 11th, 2014 and take advantage of walk with your doc week to help build relationships with your local health care providers and take steps to promote your own wellness." - First Nations Health Authority CEO Joe Gallagher.
