Throwback to our first event with Mano a Mano and Dr. Record last year!! We're excited for our events with Roberti Community House on the first Saturday of every month from 9:30 AM to 11 AM! Every event has a different healthcare professional including doctors, physical therapists, and podiatrists! Snacks and coffee provided 😊

Not sure where to start? Attending a Walk with a Doc reduces your stress, helps build relationships, helps you sleep better, gives your your daily dose of exercise, and often, teaches you about healthy food. We recommend starting there 🙂

(Thanks tp our friends from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine for sharing)

Join us at our events with Roberti Community House on every first Saturday of the month at 9 AM!

This month's Walk With A Doc brought Dr. Morrison who discussed sleep hygeine and the importance of sleep. Our community learned tips for ensuring healthy sleep and got to ask questions before heading out for a nice walk together on a beautiful day!

We just can't escape the rain here in Chicago, but it won't keep us from walking with Mano a Mano Family Resource Center
