Bill Gregory Health Care Classic: Honoring a Community Hero Dr. Bill Gregory, a local Dalton physician who spent his career taking care of patients and promoting wellness and healthy lifestyles, was tragically killed in June 2006 in a bicycling accident. In 2007, the "Health Care Classic" race was changed to the "Bill Gregory Health Care Classic" to honor him and his commitment to the community. Over the years, the Bill Gregory Health Care Classic has become a beloved community event, as well as an invitation to continue the community work started by Dr.Gregory so many years ago. For decades, this cornerstone event has attracted thousands of students, employers, providers, church groups and individuals to participate in the event's 2K, 5K and 10K races. Live4It Community has picked up the torch and is carrying the event forward as a joint effort with Bradley Wellness Center.
