The next edition of Southcoast Health's “Take a Walk with a Southcoast Doc” will take place on Saturday, Nov. 8 at 10 a.m. at the A.D. Makepeace Company’s Rosebrook cranberry bogs located at 100 Rosebrook Way in Wareham. The walk will be led by Southcoast Physicians Group Internal Medicine physician, Randy Caplan, DO.

The community is invited to join Dr. Caplan for this month's event, during which time he will discuss the benefits of walking and also field general health questions. Dr. Caplan is located at the Southcoast Physicians Group Internal Medicine practice in Wareham, 40 Church Avenue, Suite 103.

The Walk will begin from Southcoast Health’s Rosebrook medical office building located at 100 Rosebrook Way. A.D. Makepeace staff will assist in a guided tour of the cranberry bogs in the nearby area, where participants will have the opportunity to learn more about the local cranberry harvest.

Walking just 30 minutes a day can decrease your risk of many health problems, including heart disease, stroke and diabetes. All ages and levels of ability are welcome. Participants of the walk will receive a free pedometer and "Better Health Kits" that include information on nutrition and exercise. All participants are welcome, and no registration is necessary.

The “Take a Walk with a Southcoast Doc” program includes monthly walks with Southcoast Physicians Group doctors throughout the South Coast region. Visit www.southcoast.org/walkwithadoc for more information about where Southcoast physicians will be walking next.
