Sometimes there is nothing more pleasant than a simple walk in the park. Encouraging your patients to take an easy stroll may also be an easy way to improve their cardiovascular health. Many of us have talked many times with our patients about the benefits of a regular exercise program, and yet this talk therapy may not be achieving the desired result. Cardiologist Dr. David Sabgir has moved beyond talk therapy and is literally walking the talk -- by taking his patients to the park, as part of this unique physician-led walking program called Walk With a Doc. Dr. Sagbir joins host Dr. Janet Wright to talk about his Ohio-based organization, which he is working to expand across the country. It may be just prescription we all need.
