Message From the President - February 2012
SAGES President, Dr. Steve Schwaitzberg
Leadership is Synonymous with Service and Collaboration
To provide leadership in surgery, particularly gastrointestinal and endoscopic surgery, to optimize patient care through education, research and innovation – SAGES Mission Statement
This is my final president's message. To say that it has been an extraordinary honor and privilege to serve the Society is an understatement. It has been humbling to work amidst the amazing talent that makes up SAGES. I am sure my successors -- Scott Melvin, then Gerry Fried -- will also experience the unique vigor swirling within the SAGES community which energizes the various committees to do the spectacular work that makes our mission statement more than words on a webpage. SAGES members who read this should realize that your actions have spoken loudly throughout the surgical world. Read more...
