We are soo close to getting this bill passed! Please consider contacting Governor Youngkin to show your support for HB861/SB515 and help make our hospitals safer.

The Virginia_ACS chapter meeting is off to a great start! Dr. Bryan Richmond gave an outstanding talk about the future of the “House of Surgery” and how we support the general surgeon.

What an outstanding talk by Dr. Bryan Carmody about how we match students into general surgery and how we can incentivize what is important to residency programs. His external perspective and analysis of the data was provocative and insightful!

Thank you to Sentara for having Delegate Phil Hernandez and I today to celebrate our bill that aims to keep weapons out of hospitals. We are dedicated to this cause and will continue to fight to ensure that hospitals are the safe, peaceful and healing places they were designed to be.
