Presidential Address

My dear friends, it is a distinct honor to stand before you as we celebrate the many advances that we have made in our profession, and in our individual careers. I am often asked, as I am sure you have: how is it that we chose our mission, what is it that made it so compelling to answer the calling to help a distinct group of deserving people? And I am always struck by how easy it is to answer this question. I tell them there is no other field in medicine that so dramatically improves health, quality of life, and happiness.
