About the Walk for Healthcare



On Saturday, June 27, 2009 at 8:00 a.m., Dr. Ogan Gurel (click for bio) left Chicago’s Daley Plaza en route for Washington DC to launch the Walk for Healthcare, a nearly 700-mile journey by foot (mostly along the Lincoln Highway), aiming to draw attention to the very real stories of hardship and inequity that persist in our health care system. Dr. Gurel met hundreds of people along the way and has shared their stories via his blog, Facebook, and Twitter. Averaging about 24 miles a day, he arrived one month later in DC on Sunday, July 26. For additional background, see the FAQ sheet here and to contact Ogan click here.
