2009 - 2010 A Banner Year

A special thank you once again, to a wonderful group of national and international figures in medicine who have graced our podium, shared their thoughts and inspired us with their persona. Thank you as well to the many talented singers, musicians, poets, and readers who performed at these events. And finally, very many thanks to our Patrons and Benefactors, our Steering Committee and all of our members and guests who were so generous in supporting our Society and its activities.

We ask everyone to renew or upgrade your membership and if you are not yet a member, to consider joining our list of supporters for the year 2010.  We need your help to continue with our unique programming and the expansion of our activities.  (Please click on “Mission Statement”).  Now more than ever the “House of Medicine”, physicians, nurses, hospitals, health-care administrators, and health educators are facing a myriad of challenges and our unique approach, which is only a part of a very large effort from many different organizations, nonetheless remains quite distinctive and serves a vital role which is otherwise not addressed.

Quotes

"To each one of you the practice of medicine will be very much as you make it – to one a worry, a care, a perpetual annoyance; to another, a daily joy and a life of as much happiness and usefulness as can well fall to the lot of man."
– Sir William Osler

"To prevent disease, to relieve suffering and to heal the sick-this is our work."
- Sir William Osler

"He who practices medicine without a cause…is as one who navigates without a rudder and oars."
– Dr. John Hall [1575-1635]
Son-in-Law of William Shakespeare

"In no relationship is the physician more often derelict than in his duty to himself"
- Sir William Osler

"When that time [death] shall come, I shall relinquish many attractions of life, and among them a pleasure which has to me no equal in human pursuits; I mean that which I derive from studying, teaching and practicing medicine."
- Benjamin Rush [1745?-1813]
Physician, Patriot, Signer of the Declaration of Independence
