Hospital PAT Team Walks to End Alzheimer’s

North Mississippi Medical Center's Pre-Admission Testing (PAT) department participated in the 2022 Walk to End Alzheimer's at Ballard Park in Tupelo on Sept. 17. The team surpassed their fundraising goal by raising $1,250 for Alzheimer's research.

The PAT department looks forward to the annual event and invites others to join them to help increase awareness and support finding a cure for this debilitating disease, all while building teamwork and camaraderie.
