The health and safety of the Alpha-1 community is our top priority at the Alpha-1 Foundation. With that in mind, we have postponed the Birmingham Alpha-1 Education Day and Walk at this point.
At this time the country is relying on healthcare workers across the United States to care for those affected by COVID-19. Our appreciation and respect go out to each and every one of them. Understandably, our experts in the Birmingham area have been called to respond to the increased need for medical attention and will not be able to present at our virtual Alpha-1 Education Day.
We know how valuable it is for those in the Alpha-1 community to come together in-person to learn the latest on Alpha-1 and share their unique experiences. We look forward to hosting this Alpha-1 Education Day at a later date.
