Regina Benjamin, the 18th Surgeon General of the United States, talks about the power of prevention. She feels that health does not only occur in a doctor’s office but out in our lives – where we work, play and live. She believes prevention is the key to building a stronger healthcare system.

The Every Body Walk! 2013 Walking Summit, held October 1–3, 2013 brought together Every Body Walk! partners, nonprofit, civic, and business leaders along with new allies, who shared news, views, and ideas to boost the prevalence of walking and increase community walkability. Join national and local leaders to engage in inspiring conversations and sessions that will build capacity, develop strategies, increase momentum and showcase best practices to increase investments in walking and walkability. The Walking Summit also focused on how to integrate walking and physical activity into a conference format.
