NYCU April 7, 2021 April 13, 2021 CMA, COVID-19, COVID-19 Vaccinations, Infectious Disease, Public Health, SDCMS 0 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 2021 PHYSICIANS: I’m excited to report that SDCMS Member Dr. Akilah Weber won her election to the California State Assembly last night! We need to wait on some late ballots to see if she wins the election outright or will have a runoff in June, but with over 52% of the vote and a commanding lead, Dr. Weber is well positioned to be San Diego’s next member of the state assembly. You can follow election updates HERE. Let me again give my thanks to the many SDCMS Members that supported Dr. Weber. Having another health care leader in the legislature is something that will benefit all of California. Nothing is more fundamental in medicine than the patient–physician relationship. That’s why we are so pleased to share that Dr. Mark Sornson, a dermatologist with Sharp Rees–Stealy Medical Group and a former President of San Diego County Medical Society, was recently awarded his 100th Guardian Angel recognition, which makes him the first dermatologist at Sharp to reach this milestone. A physician is recognized when a grateful patient and their loved ones take the opportunity to thank a caregiver who made a difference during their visit or stay by citing them in making a contribution to the Guardian Angel program, which funds patient–centered programs, advanced medical technology and healing facilities. This honor reflects the empathy and compassion Dr. Sornson has brought to his 18–year career. Congrats, Dr. Sornson! Finally, a reminder that the next Clinical Town Hall will be on April 21st, from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. Please submit questions in advance and CLICK HERE to do so.
