PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Fall 2022
BY DAVID E. BOBMAN, MD PRESIDENT OF CHESTER COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY
As I begin my term as President of the Chester County Medical Society, I do so with great excitement, anticipation, and hope. This role will be a tough act to follow coming after my predecessors who, along with the excellent guidance of our administrative director, have done such a fine job of shepherding our organization.
There remain many continued hurdles which we must clear and new ones to come. These issues, among others, include loss of access to care – in part due to effects of our Covid epidemic, hospital closings, and difficulty in recruiting physicians to our area. We are again seeing issues with venue shopping and there continues to be erosion of the doctor-patient relationship.
We as a team will continue to deal with these issues. While our board has done a great job with tackling issues as they arise, I believe the collective intelligence and creativity of all our members is greater than that of the few physicians on the board. Just as a team’s coach needs multiple players on his team, the organization also needs the active participation of the team members. My hope, and request, is for more of our Chester County members to voice their concerns, opinions, and suggestions. This includes both positive and negative sentiments.
To this end, I would like to create a sounding board where we will publish some of these responses to create a dialogue, hopefully leading to productive, new, and useful ideas. I am also hopeful that participation and dialogue will lead to a greater sense of inclusion and connectivity. I have created the web address OurCCMS@gmail.com to which you can provide your input and expect them to be published in our next newsletter. I look forward to the future of our Medical Society!
— Rick Warren
Fond Regards, David
