The Memphis Medical Society encourages our members and community to support our friends in East Tennessee who are recovering from Hurricane Helene. Below are some options to financially support recovery efforts.
From the Ballad Health Foundation:
“We have established a Disaster Relief Fund which allows flexibility for funds to be used “where needed most” within Ballad either for team members in crisis, patients in crisis, or critical emergency response needs. The Disaster Relief Fund is first in the list of options for giving.
Here is the link for donations:
If individuals prefer to send a check, the foundation’s address is:
