The Nassau County Medical Society hosted its Spring 2023 Membership Meeting at the Mill River Club on May 16 at 6 o’clock in the evening.
Members throughout Nassau County joined us for an evening of drinks, dinner, and reports from the leaders at our organizations such as NCMS President Dr. David Podwall and NAM President Daniel Nicoll.
MSSNY President Paul A. Pipia attended the event and updated our membership on MSSNY’s continued efforts to bring about reform in policy and legislation to better the field of medicine for physicians and their patients.
When we come together, it is our duty to inform our members of the actions that they can take to evolve the profession for those currently practicing and future doctors who have yet to begin their practice.
Doctors Robert Schreiber, Joel Portnoy, and Bernadette Riley reported on the members who have passed away, the members who have joined our organization, and the way that our members can become more involved in the academy’s efforts to promote the education of our physicians.
The legacy of the Society and the Academy is to honor those who have dedicated their entire lives to medicine and support those who are starting their careers to deliver the highest quality of patient care.
In the spirit of lifelong learning, our guest speaker and NYIT alumnus, Dr. Mike (Mikhail Varshavski), spoke about his journey in social media and how he used his voice to promote the pressing health issues that affected patients and debunk misinformation on the web that is consumed by a vast majority of Americans.
Varshavski stressed the importance of being a human first and a doctor second. Words cannot express the impact that Varshavski’s talk had on our members who will move forward and continue to deliver humanity in medicine.
The Nassau County Medical Society and the Nassau Academy of Medicine have been advocating for physicians for over the past 100 years, and we aim to serve as a resource for the entire Nassau County community.
Thank you to all those who made our membership meeting a success. We encourage all physicians to learn more about our organizations and how their involvement can activate positive change.
