This film brought tears to my eyes, listening to this wonderful tribute to all of the pioneers of SAGES. I have been so fortunate and proud being able to work with Bruce Schirmer as his RN Care Coordinator and have had the privilege and honor to be a member of SAGES. I have had the privilege and honor to befriend Dr. Berci and his dear wife Barbara. I had the opportunity to visit Dr Marks at Jefferson to learn how to assist with colonoscopies. Dr. Greene extended an invitation to me to write a chapter in one of his textbooks - a wow moment - and I shared the stage several times during the Sing Off.
Yes, SAGES is a family. You see it and more importantly, feel it. Thank you SAGES for providing this nurse a venue for learning, opportunities and yes, participating in the annual Sing off. I am retiring after 32 years at the University of Virginia Medical Center. I will truly miss being part of this organization!!
