The Verdant Health Commission, in collaboration with the Latino Educational Training Institute (LETI), is excited to present "Walk with a Latina Doc" on September 21, 2024, starting at 9 a. m. at Meadowdale Middle School in Lynnwood. This free program is designed to encourage community members to engage in physical activity while learning about health from a knowledgeable physician. Dr.
