USA Health CEO Owen Bailey, MSHA, FACHE, will serve as the 2024 honorary chair for the Mobile Kidney Walk & Celebration, set for Saturday, March 9, at UMS-Wright Preparatory School’s Ervin S. Cooper Stadium.
Registration begins at 8 a.m. with the event ceremony at 9 a.m. The event includes food, music, vendor tables, a children’s area, door prizes and prizes for top fundraising teams and individuals. The best T-shirt design will also receive a special prize. All three USA Health hospitals are hosting teams for the walk.
Proceeds will assist south Alabama’s kidney patients in need through the Alabama Kidney Foundation’s Financial Assistance Program. The program serves low-income dialysis patients by helping them with necessities such as utility bills, prescription medications, and transportation to and from dialysis treatments.
