President's MessagePosted: November 29, 2022 As Vice President of the Academy, I am stepping in this to share this message on behalf of Phil Goldsmith. It is with a heavy heart that I share the news that Phil lost his father on Thanksgiving Day. On a day typically filled with bounty, joy, and gratitude, Phil and his family were thrust into a state of unexpected emotion. Our sincerest thoughts and support go out to the Goldsmith family. As I reflect on my family’s experience on Thanksgiving Day, I am thankful for all those around me who make life so special. I remind myself that life is short. There is no guarantee of tomorrow. Our chosen profession and practice setting provides us an opportunity to serve those who are often in the midst of difficult emotion and loss. As we support our patients and their families, perhaps we can consider this an honor and something we can be thankful for as well. Sincerely, Chris Chimenti |
