For those in Nanaimo without a family doctor, an event will be taking place for residents to meet with healthcare providers and discuss healthy lifestyles.

Starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 11 at Maffeo Sutton Park, Walk with Your Doc will promote healthy and active living by local family doctors while also going for a walk around the park.

Dr. Derek Poteryko, a family doctor of 30 years in Nanaimo, is one of the doctors taking part in the event. He has been participating in the Walk with Your Doc events for almost 20 years. CHLY met with him at his clinic to discuss the event.

He said the event will give space to those without family doctors to ask questions they may have, as well, will also have information on how to register for the Health Connect Registry through HealthLink BC to find a family doctor or nurse practitioner.
