Led by Heart Walk Team Captain Jim Boswell, CEO of Baptist Medical Group and vice president of physician services for Baptist, team members at seven Baptist entities organized 90 teams for the American Heart Association’s annual Heart Walk. The teams raised $55,000 – more than any other organization in Memphis – and seven Baptist team members were named “Top Walkers” for raising $1,000 or more each. In addition, Baptist won the “T-Shirt Design” and “Top Fundraising Company” awards at the event.
As a part of Baptist’s sponsorship of The AHA’s Check. Change. Control. blood pressure management program, Baptist provided blood pressure screenings at the walk.
