Baptist is a silver sponsor of the Memphis Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes, the American Diabetes Association’s largest annual fundraiser. Baptist Rehab-Germantown assistant administrator Rebecca DeRousse is the walk’s chair.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 29 million Americans have diabetes, and by 2020, one in two adults will suffer from the disease. Diabetes disproportionately affects Mid-Southerners.
Baptist team members are encouraged to participate in the walk. You can join Team Baptist by registering today at www.diabetes.org/stepoutmemphis. Registration is free and will only take a moment.
This year’s walk will be held on Saturday, Sept.27 at Tiger Lane at the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium.
