The NYS Department of Health (DOH) continues to work with the NYS Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to provide the Walk with Ease Program. This self-directed program can be done on your own time, at your own pace, over six weeks. Participants are encouraged to walk up to 30 minutes, three times a week. The program was designed for adults with arthritis but is appropriate for most adults regardless of disability status and can be modified to suit your individual needs and goals. Upon registering, participants receive a free guidebook in the mail, which provides tips on getting more physically active, a stretching and strengthening routine, and information on health-related topics. The program can help you reduce pain, stiffness, and other arthritis symptoms; improve balance and flexibility; increase strength; increase walking pace; and be more active and independent.

For more information or to sign up, please visit the Walk with Ease website. 

Walk with Ease is a statewide program of the NYS DOH Arthritis Program and is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
