A Message from TNACS President Robert Maxwell

Dear TNACS Chapter Members,

I hope this message finds you well during these most difficult times.

The American College of Surgeons is constantly providing the most up-to-date information and resources concerning COVID-19. I draw your attention to the information in the two latest Bulletins, Bulletin: ACS COVID-19 Update – April 10  and Bulletin: ACS COVID-19 Update—April 14 . These issues, like others before them, provide detailed information and links to the latest news and financial resources for surgeons. Many thanks to our Regent, Dr. Ken Sharp, for the many hours he spends with other ACS leaders to develop these updates. Check out Dr. Sharp’s video message in Bulletin: ACS COVID-19 Update—April 14.

Up-to-date information about the status of COVID-19 in TN is available on the TN Department of Health website.

The TNACS Executive Council is closely monitoring the situation in TN and will decide in the coming weeks whether or not to proceed with the 2020 TNACS Annual Meeting.   The Annual Meeting and Trauma Symposium are currently scheduled for August 6-9, at The Westin in Memphis.

Stay safe and well.

Robert Maxwell, MD, FACS
President, TNACS
