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

these illnesses."
