Dr. John Sutton to Lead Aultman’s ‘Walk with a Doc’ in December

CANTON, Ohio (Nov. 18, 2016) —Join Aultman Hospital on Sunday, Dec. 4 at 1 p.m. and walk the Downtown Louisville Leopard Mile for the December Walk with a Doc.

Walk with a Doc is a year-round walking program that operates in communities across America and abroad to encourage healthy physical activity for people of all ages. Aultman is proud to take part in the program to support their mission to lead our community to improved health.

A practicing family physician for 20 years, John Sutton, M.D. will lead the Aultman walk. “Last year’s walk in Louisville was really well attended, with over 45 walkers!” Sutton recalled. “I’m really looking forward to returning to the Leopard Mile. Staying healthy over the holidays is challenging and we will discuss strategies that can help you achieve that goal.”

Community members are invited to take part in the walk, which will take approximately one hour. Please meet at Uptown Joe’s to join in the fun. Come learn healthy holiday eating tips and get your questions answered. Those who arrive prior to the 1 p.m. start time will receive a free eight-ounce cup of coffee or hot chocolate, courtesy of Uptown Joe’s.
