ECTSS STATEMENT
Dear ECTSS Members,
The recent events across the country have magnified long-standing issues that have plagued the black community as well as our cardiothoracic surgeons and patients of color to various degrees.
The Eastern Cardiothoracic Surgical Society (ECTSS) stands in solidarity with the black community against acts of racism and violence.
The ECTSS is intimately aware of the disparities that exist both within education and among patient care. The ECTSS pledges to work diligently to help eliminate these social injustices that have affected our country. The ECTSS also stands with the students, trainees, colleagues, and members of color as we navigate these challenging times.
Sincerely,
| The ECTSS Executive Officers: President, Eric J. Lehr, MD, PhD Vice President, Sharon Ben-Or, MD Treasurer, Doraid Jarrar, MD Secretary, Africa F. Wallace, MD Immediate Past President, Faiz Y. Bhora, MD |
Standards & Ethics Committee Members: Benjamin Haithcock, MD Scott M. Goldman, MD T. Sloane Guy, MD, MBA John P. Nabagiez, MD Roman V. Petrov, MD Michael C. Sinclair, MD Darryl S. Weiman, MD, JD |
The Eastern Cardiothoracic Surgical Society was founded in 1963. Our mission is to encourage and stimulate investigation and study that will increase the knowledge of intrathoracic physiology, pathology, and therapy.
Although our physical office have reopened in compliance with COVID-19 guidelines, as we continue to have most of our staff team work remotely, we ask that if possible, you make your dues payments online. If you or your institution would prefer to send a check, rest assured that our teams are all working full time, and our front office is in full operation and your mail is secure.
