In my first President’s Page I introduced my over-arching focus for my year as president as being our extended Aerospace Medicine Family. During our meeting in Anchorage, the vast majority of the attendees expressed a feeling that our annual meetings are truly our extended family’s reunion. Many lifelong friendships and professional relationships have begun and been cultivated during our annual meetings. These relationships have formed the foundation for many collaborations and continue to solidify our organization as the world leader in Fanancy Anzalone, M.D., M.P.H. Aerospace Medicine.
