Welcome to the November issue of MED Magazine! This is the time of year where we pause to say Thank You — for your readership, your support, and your service. But this year, after more than 18 months of struggle, frustration, and uncertainty for nearly everyone in healthcare, 'Thank You' seems inadequate. We know that YOU are leading the way for all of us. And your dedication and leadership in your institutions and communities has made it possible for us to keep MED going in what has also been a tough time for small businesses. Our sincerest gratitude. We hope you'll enjoy this month's articles on the Watertown pulmonologist who's carrying on a family tradition, message 'banking' at LifeScape for people losing their voices, the new birth tissue donation program in Rapid City, and a jam-packed section of medical community news. It's our pleasure to continue to bring all of this to you free of charge for more than a decade. If you like it, please thank
an advertiser. With Thanks
Alex & Steff
