Why do many of you serve in volunteer positions in your community? Because you are family physicians—that is why! You chose family medicine as your career because you wanted to help people with all aspects of their lives.
Enjoy the stories of family medicine in communities in this issue of The Ohio Family Physician (TOFP). Whether you are a coroner, a team physician, active in your church, or involved in organized medicine, you are helping your community and serving with honor because you are a caring family physician and that is exactly what family physicians do.
Please also take a look at all that your Academy has accomplished over the last year in the 2016-17 Annual Report and read about what fun was had during the Members Assembly. Congratulations to Family Physician of the Year Carlos Menendez, MD; Family Medicine Educator of the Year Jack O’Handley, MD; Friend of Family Medicine Larry Bauer; and our new President Don Mack, MD.
