PRESIDENT'S REPORT
|
January 14, 2022
Dear Seattle Surgical Society Members, I am writing to update you about the 2022 Annual Meeting of the Seattle Surgical Society. With the February 4, 2022 scheduled meeting date just a few weeks away, Society leadership has been engaged in ongoing assessment and consideration of the current Omicron surge and its potential impact, risk to our members, and for a safe and successful meeting. With the health and safety of our members and invited participants at the center of our board discussion, and with acknowledgement that we have been able to put together a wonderful academic program for the meeting, we have decided to postpone the 2022 Annual Meeting and Dinner. We are canceling the event for February 4, 2022, and hope to reschedule the meeting and dinner, with current program intact, later in the spring of 2022. We will be following the course of the Omicron surge closely, and incorporating recommendations from the Washington State Department of Health, and King County Public Health, in addition to our own respective health care organizations and workplaces to best identify an appropriate date to reschedule. While disappointing to change course at this point in time, we hope for a short-lived Omicron surge and look forward to the opportunity to meet in person later in the Spring. Wishing you all continued health and resilience in these pandemic times, Patrick J Healey MD President, Seattle Surgical Society Greetings to Seattle Surgical Membership!
I am writing to update you about some changes regarding our upcoming annual meeting. We learned recently that we will not be able to host the meeting at The Arctic Club on February 4, 2022. While this was certainly unexpected news, it did give us the opportunity to utilize an important skill that we have all developed and practiced much over the past 21 months of pandemic – the ability to pivot. I am excited to announce that the 2022 Annual Meeting will be held at the Olive 8 Hotel, on February 4, 2022. Olive 8 offers a great space for the meeting, including abstract presentations as well as space for vendors who generously support our meeting, and society. The annual dinner will be held at The Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI), located in South Lake Union. There will be additional information forthcoming about arrangements for meeting-rate hotel room reservations and parking at Olive 8. Thank you for your engagement in and support of Seattle Surgical Society. I look forward to seeing you at our Annual Meeting in February. Sincerely, Patrick Healey MD President, Seattle Surgical Society |
