Having a Great Time. Wish You Were Here.

Colleagues:
Back when Vacation Postcards were in vogue, a frequent practice was to send a cardboard picture of a local landmark, and on the back would be a message about having a nice time. On Tuesday March 11, about 150 physicians and students converged in Albany for the MSSNY Physician Advocacy Day. The landmark was the Capitol, the weather was sunny, it was 60 degrees, and the legislators were all smiling and cordial. I wish you all were here with all of us. You missed a good event.
For those of you who did attend, you have my utmost respect. Instead of a real vacation with family and friends, you donated your time and energy for a noble and altruistic cause, to advocate for our patients and for our profession. Some of you had family medical emergencies back home and needed to rush home early. On behalf of MSSNY, I wish each and every one of your loved ones a speedy and complete recovery.
For those of you who were unable to attend, I am issuing a metaphorical raincheck, and a sincere invitation for next year. There is also still a way for you to participate this year. I urge you to add your voice to your colleagues who attended and thus amplify MSSNY’s messages. Please donate to MSSNYPAC. Click here to donate now.
All the best,
Jerome C. Cohen, MD
MSSNY President
