Join the Long Island Health Collaborative, the Long Island Greenbelt Trail Conference, and AARP Long Island for HEALTHY HIKES, free community hiking events! Physicians will briefly discuss their specialties and the many health benefits of taking a hike. Attendees can hike and talk with the doc! Please register in advance so we can best accommodate. Take a hike with us on this summer and early fall for better health, no matter what your age or experience level.What makes our hikes so healthy? In addition to the many physical and mental health benefits of hiking, our Healthy Hikes are held through the LIHC’s Walk with a Doc chapter. This means our hikes are led by a physician who will deliver health education about a different topic every month before joining walkers on the hike. Walk with a Doc is a national program that offers free physician-led walking events in communities around the world, and we’re proud to bring these events to our Long Island neighbors. Get in some steps, talk with our docs along the way, and learn about the actions you can take now to live a healthier life for good.
This is a series of FREE community walking events held in 2025. AARP membership not required.
