Move.Tallahassee & Walk with a Doc Talk About the Importance of Health History

This Saturday, Move.Tallahassee is joining forces with Walk with a Doc for a free community walk at Cascades Park. This week, Dr. Barry Bradley will talk about why your health history matters.

Where: Cascades Park. We’ll meet in the open space behind the amphitheater, near the waterfall and splash pads. Parking is available in the nearby parking garages or at the back of the DOT parking lot.

Why does health history matter? Everyone has a unique health history, and it helps guide future care. A family history of conditions like diabetes, cancer and vascular disease can point to health risks down the road. Surgical history can affect imaging choices, explain post-surgery concerns and guide future treatment. And medical history matters because many conditions can come back or raise the risk of others. We’ll talk about this and more!

Walk with a Doc is a national program built around a great idea: get people moving while giving them a relaxed, informal chance to talk with real medical professionals. No appointment, no waiting room — just a walk and a conversation. Our local chapter is supported by Capital Health Plan.
This week, you’ll have the chance to walk alongside Dr. Amy Neal, Dr. Barry Bradley and other medical professionals, chatting one-on-one as the group makes its way through Cascades Park and the shady paths of nearby Myers Park.

Many of us enjoyed Walktober with Working Well last month. Let’s keep the momentum going!

Whether you’re a dedicated wellness enthusiast or just getting started, everyone is welcome, and it’s free. Grab a friend, a family member or your favorite four-legged walking companion. Come explore Cascades and Myers parks and pick up some genuinely useful health advice along the way.
