Hometown Hero: Dr. Adam Wolk
This week’s Hometown Hero, presented by Hendrick Southpoint, is Dr. Adam Wolk — a physician who has been working tirelessly to get people vaccinated for COVID-19.
As the three different people who separately nominated him all agree, that is just the beginning of the good work he does.
“Just today, I get a text that he’s giving 150 shots and then 100 shots tomorrow and 100 shots the day after while doing his normal job,” said Satya Kallepali.
Dr. Wolk has focused his efforts on vaccinating people in underrepresented and underserved communities. He’s organized vaccination drives among local teachers. He’s done outreach with Black churches and residents in public housing communities.
