Join Dr. Laiken Hayes for Walk with a Doc

Published February 11, 2026

Dr. Laiken Hayes, a primary care provider at Med Center Health Primary Care, will be hosting her first Walk with a Doc community walking program on Saturday, February 14, at 10:15 a.m. at The Greenwood Mall Food Court.

This program aims to get the community active! At the event, participants will get to listen to Dr. Hayes speak about a healthcare topic and then join her for a walk. This program will allow for participants to safely take a walk, learn about current health topics, and meet new people. Each event starts with a brief discussion on a health topic from Dr. Hayes. Participants will also have the opportunity to chat with Dr. Hayes and ask questions during the walk.

“As a doctor specializing in lifestyle medicine, I like to educate about health topics, and I really love getting out and moving,” said Dr. Hayes. “At Walk with a Doc, we will meet at Greenwood Mall every second Saturday of the month at 10:15 a.m. Our first meet-up will be this Saturday, February 14! We’ll start by talking, fostering that social connection, and then I’ll discuss an interesting health topic with the group. Most of these topics will be embedded in lifestyle medicine. After that, we’ll get to walking for a bit! We’re hoping to be able to start walking outside by April. We’re thinking maybe we can try to get out to Kereiakes Park, once the weather warms up. I’m really excited for this, and I’m really hoping a lot of people can benefit from this.”

This free community walking program will be hosted on the second Saturday of every month, always beginning at 10:15 a.m.
