We’d like to pay tribute to Dr. Steven M. Southwick, MD who passed away on April 20, 2022. We extend our deepest gratitude to Dr. Southwick for serving on our Advisory Council. As a mentor, teacher, and friend, Dr. Southwick left an indelible mark on our organization. Our love goes out to his widow and to all of his family members.
