"
I have been involved in organized medicine for more than two decades and have been active on local, regional, national, and international levels for years. The desire and ability to have this engagement was developed, nurtured, and catapulted due to the relationships I’ve fostered as a member of the Wayne County Medical Society of Southeastern Michigan. My aspiration is to continue leading and sharing access to WCMSSM with future physicians, not only to sustain its legacy, but to improve healthcare and its delivery to the communities that we strive to serve.
