Piedmont Fayette Hospital’s Walk with a Doc Events: Combining Exercise and Expertise

by | Aug 11, 2023

Piedmont Fayette Hospital is proud to announce its monthly event, Walk with a Doc, from May to October on the second Saturday of every month. The event provides an opportunity for participants to get some exercise while also engaging with experts in orthopedics. Chuck Fryberger, M.D. and Michael McHenry, M.D. from Piedmont Orthopedics/OrthoAtlanta will lead the next session on Saturday, Aug. 12. It is an excellent way to get some fresh air, exercise, and get answers to any questions about orthopedics-related issues.

The Piedmont Fayette Hospital acknowledges the significance of physical activity and exercise in our daily lives. The benefits of exercise extend beyond the realm of our physical health and into the realm of our mental health as well. The Walk with Doc events offers an interactive and educational forum combining physical activity and medical professionals’ knowledge. On the second Saturday of each month at 8:30 a.m., there will be walks, during which participants will walk for approximately 40 minutes at the Peachtree City Market. The walks will begin precisely at that time. The walk will take you to the Battery Way Boat Dock, starting in Aberdeen Village.

The event is free, but interested parties must make reservations in advance by emailing PFHRSVP@piedmont.org. To make the event more enjoyable, participants are encouraged to bring comfortable walking shoes, hats, water bottles, and any questions they may have for Chuck Fryberger, M.D., and Michael McHenry, M.D. Both physicians are passionate about educating the locals on the importance of movement and how to prevent orthopedic injuries. Participants will have the chance to discuss their concerns and ask questions related to common orthopedic issues or any other concerns they might have.

“Our Piedmont Orthopedics/OrthoAtlanta team stays busy with athletic injuries, joint replacement surgeries, and more,” explains Paige Muh, the Director of Community Relations for Piedmont Fayette. The community of Fayette County is very engaged, and I do not doubt that the next walks will feature some wonderful and enlightening conversations. It’s a beautiful chance to keep busy, pick the brains of those knowledgeable in the industry, and make new connections.”

Once the walk is completed, participants can visit the Peachtree City Market vendors to learn about their locally grown and prepared goods. The vendors are passionate about their craft and are always happy to showcase their products. Walk with Doc events are an excellent opportunity to stay healthy, engage with experts in orthopedics, and support local businesses.

Piedmont Fayette Hospital’s Walk with Doc events is a great way to combine exercise and education. With informed professionals such as Chuck Fryberger, M.D., and Michael McHenry, M.D., leading the walks, participants can learn about orthopedic injuries and prevention and discuss any other concerns they may have. The walks are held monthly, accessible, and open to all, with a beautiful opportunity to engage with the local market vendors once the walk is over. Do not miss the chance to become more informed on orthopedic injuries and prevention while staying active and enjoying the local community.
