Hello, Friends!
I have just returned from a weekend attending the annual meeting of the Washington State Medical Association (WSMA). We met as delegates from all the counties in our state at the Murano Hotel in Tacoma, Washington. The theme of the weekend was Celebrating Medicine. We certainly are!
Dr. Dean Martz was named the new President of the WSMA.
Dr. Martz is a neurosurgeon from Spokane, Washington. He hails from Case Western Reserve University and the University of Michigan. Dr. Martz gave a stirring acceptance speech at the Sunday morning House of Delegates. It will be his job to navigate the state medical association through the first full year of the new reality of health care reform. Dr. Martz is definitely up for the challenge.
The WSMA represents over 9600 physicians, physician assistants, residents and medical students in Washington state. Every year we send a delegation to the American Medical Association (AMA) to represent Washington state at this national organization. However, the main purpose of the organization is seen in it's motto...."Physician Driven, Patient Focused". We truly are "focused, focused, focused" on what will be best for patients and their families throughout Washington state.
It was a pleasure and honor being a delegate for the Chelan-Douglas Counties Medical Society.
Best Regards Always,
MItch
