CANTON – Dr. Nick Knowles of Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Physician Assistant Brittany Terpstra of Community Health Center of the North Country, and a variety of other St. Lawrence County health care professionals will lead the next Walk with a Doc health program indoors at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 26 at Banford Elementary School, 99 State St.
