Don Walker Steps Down From Baptist Health Board After 26 Years Baptist Health Paducah PADUCAH, KY. – Feb. 17, 2015 – While running an engineering business in Calvert City and serving his Paducah church through deacon, music and mission ministries, Don Walker spent 26 of the last 37 years devoted to another passion – leading Baptist Health in its mission to meet the healthcare needs of the region. Walker is stepping down after serving stints on both the Baptist Health local and corporate boards. He will remain board chair of the Baptist Health Paducah Foundation, which he helped start about 10 years ago. His service began in 1978 when the Rev. Bill Cubine, thenpastor of Immanuel Baptist Church, asked him to serve. “I looked at it as an extension of my service to my church, but where the whole community was included,” Walker said.
