Governor Message
Dear Colleagues,
What a fantastic time to be a member of the American College of Physicians! Like many of you, I just had an amazing experience at IM2019. This annual meeting was one that spoke loudly and clearly to both my heart and my soul. It was a meeting during which I was able to connect with many friends from across the globe, learn from colleagues who are experts in their fields, network with individuals in a variety of professional environments, and most importantly rediscover my passion for my profession. I am grateful to ACP leadership for inviting Dr. Vivek Murthy as our opening ceremony guest. He inspired us to remain connected to each other, to support one another as we care for our patients and our community. Like every year, the Convocation was also a highlight. I had the privilege of welcoming 9 of our Northern Illinois members who were inducted into ACP fellowship.
As many of us are making summer plans for time with friends and family, your chapter leadership is continuing to offer a number of local programs and also plan for an outstanding chapter meeting this fall. You will see information about several happenings below. I hope you take the opportunity to come to an upcoming Meet the Governor event, where I look forward to learning more about your interests. Thanks for the privilege of serving you.
Warmly,
Suja Mathew, MD, FACP
