I truly believe in what DCMS stands for, which explains why I have been a member since joining the Albany community. I believe that the DCMS is genuinely looking out for the best interests of both physicians and patients.
I feel I have a duty to grow DCMS membership for the sake of our future. It's the choices we make today that affect how strong we're able to affect change in the future.
