Stormont Vail Health Announces March Walk with a Doc

Stormont Vail Health invites the Topeka community to its monthly Walk with a Doc program, which promotes health and wellness through casual outdoor exercise. The next event will take place on Saturday, March 15, 2025, from 9 to 10 a.m. at the east side of Lee Arena, Washburn University.

Colorectal cancer is the second deadliest cancer in the United States, but it is highly preventable with screenings and highly treatable when caught early. Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month is the right time to learn about risk factors for colorectal cancer, when you should get a colonoscopy and more from an expert. Join Dr. Robert Ricci, a gastroenterologist at the Stormont Vail Digestive Health Center, as he answers your questions during this month’s Walk with a Doc.

What to Expect

• A friendly and invigorating walk suitable for all fitness levels.

• The opportunity to ask questions and get expert insights from our featured doc.

• A chance to meet and connect with like-minded individuals in your community.

• A fun, supportive environment encouraging health and wellness.

The walk is free and open to everyone, no registration needed. Wear comfortable shoes, and bring your water bottle to stay hydrated! If the weather is too cold or rainy, we will move the walk inside Lee Arena. Regardless of if you’re a regular participant or joining for the first time, we can't wait to see you there!
