“We thought this would be a meaningful and impactful way to lend a hand to our neighboring communities,” said Rennan Zaharias, OB-GYN Interest Group community service chair. “We wanted to expand the College of Medicine’s reach by partnering with the Pediatrics Interest Group to meet the needs of children. Living in Mobile, we understand the devastating effects of hurricanes, and we are humbled to help those affected in any way.”
