Walk Seeks to Bring People Together in the Fight Against Liver Disease

ATLANTA, May 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Sooki Hon, a United Digestive partner practice gastroenterologist and hepatologist with Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates, is serving as the medical chair for the 2024 Liver Life Walk Atlanta, a signature event of the American Liver Foundation.

Dr. Hon is encouraging others to join her in the fight against liver disease, which has many causes and affects individuals of all ages and backgrounds. This will mark her third consecutive year participating. Dr. Hon's involvement underscores her commitment to advancing patient care and supporting those grappling with liver-related illnesses in Atlanta and beyond.

"Serving as the medical chair for the 2024 Liver Life Walk Atlanta is truly humbling," remarked Dr. Hon. "I've had the privilege of witnessing the growth of this event over the last three years, and it is remarkable to see the increasing support from the Atlanta community. Together, we are not only raising awareness about liver disease but also advocating for patients and families in their fight against these illnesses."

The Liver Life Walk provides a vital platform for individuals impacted by liver disease to unite, raise awareness, and secure crucial funds. Proceeds from the event aid the 100 million Americans affected by liver disease by offering resources, education, and support services, while also advancing advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill and liver disease research.
