Thank you for Walking with Us!

Dear Walkers,

Thank you to those of you who joined us on Sunday for our October 2019 Walk with a Doc: Kids Time for the Las Vegas/Henderson community. Special thanks to Dr. Oriaku Kas-Osoka who talked with us about emotional wellness.

For our walk, Springs Preserve was decorated frighteningly fabulous for Halloween which gave our walkers a real thrill!

Keep walking every day and we hope to see you at our next walk on Sunday, November 10 at 10 am (details at end of email).

Emotional Wellness

Before our October walk, Oriaku Kas-Osoka, MD, MEd, FAAP , or Dr. Kas as her patients, students, and residents call her at UNLV School of Medicine, gave a great, kid-friendly talk about the critical importance of emotional wellness for both kids and parents.

Children need to realize that the world is a better place because they are in it. Understanding the importance of personal contribution can serve as a source of purpose and motivation.
