Many people attended a doctor-led community walk occurring on Thursday at East Harbor State Park in Ottawa County.

Those at Magruder Hospital and the Ottawa County Creating Healthy Communities organized the event, featuring Dr. James McLean, who made the outing "entertaining and informative." — https://tinyurl.com/5d5jaua7

The kiosk is up at the Islander Woods trailhead at 3655 NW Catawba Rd, Port Clinton! While the park is not open yet, it is set to open in late July and is looking great. We’re so happy we were able to make this purchase to support the Park District of Ottawa Countys project!

Yesterday’s question: What do you wish more people did to be healthy?

Dr. McLean’s answer: Walk! 👟

Walking is such a great way to stay active and comes with so many health benefits. Thank you to everyone who joined us for yesterday’s Doctor-Led Community Walk and spent time with us! We loved seeing the community come together and hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did.

If you took any photos during the walk, we would love for you to share them with us!

The week is finally here!! ☀️ Here’s a sneak peek of the beautiful views you’ll see if you join us Thursday!

Our Doctor-Led Community Walk is happening this Thursday from 4:30pm–5:30pm at Harborview Shelter House at East Harbor State Park. The trail we’ll be walking is approximately 1.3 miles and is a great way to get outside, enjoy nature, and connect with others in the community.

We hope to see you there!
