Join us for the 2016 Hunger Walk/Run

faculty-staff-hunger-walkJoin the Department of Medicine’s Hunger Walk/Run team as we support efforts to eliminate hunger and poverty in the Atlanta area. This year’s event, which will be held Sunday, March 13 on the Turner Field Green Lot, will be a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our sense of community and collegiality not only within each division, but also across the department. Check-in will be at 12 p.m. (noon) and the event will begin at 2 p.m. For more information, please visit the Hunger Walk/Run website or contact your division’s “champion.”
