Doximity employees from across departments and the nation came together through physical activity to support Walk With A Doc. Founded by Dr. David Sagbir in 2005, Walk With a Doc is a non-profit dedicated to connecting physicians with communities across the world through movement and exercise. The team at Doximity participated in exercises of their choice and walked 745 miles! Read on and learn how we participated and why it was important as we continue to make a difference in improving physicians' lives.
Jason Hagglund, Senior Software Engineer in Papillion, Nebraska
How did you participate?
For the most part, I just kept on doing what I usually do - power zone training that entails 5 training rides a week and two "off" days where I'll do a low-impact ride. The first weekend of this event just happened to coincide with another virtual event, Pelofondo, which led to me racking up quite a few miles at first.

How did you participate?
My son joined me at the gym in the afternoons. The challenge really held me accountable for staying active. Although I have a 1-year-old toddler, there were no excuses!

How did you participate?
I am a Peloton fanatic, and this challenge helped motivate me to consistently start my day with a workout. Whether it was strength training or spinning, I kicked off my day with 30 minutes of physical activity and then added in walks, yoga, etc. throughout the day.
How does your work at Doximity help connect healthcare professionals to make them more productive?
As the Director of Professional Services within the Telehealth team, I work with hospitals to help integrate Dialer video and audio into their workflows. The ease of Dialer video and audio eliminates the technical issues commonly associated with telehealth workflows and allows doctors to focus their time on patient care.

I took bike rides. I had daily dog walks. I added my daily weight-lifting workouts.
