Well, the weather is getting warmer, so summer is here. This issue covers a range of topics, from Osteoporosis, information on Lyme disease and the transition of care. We hope you will read about our annual Humaneness in Medicine recipient. We also discuss the American Medical Women’s Association and Physician advocacy.

“The Domino Effect of Physician Advocacy” offers an interesting view on advocacy between physicians and policy makers. We are reminded that physician advocates have tremendous potential to have a significant impact on any health care policy. But we learn about the many things, good and bad, to think about in this process.

Are you familiar with The American Medical Women’s Association (AMWA)? Learn about its beginnings in 1915, and their journey to today.

Most of you are familiar with Osteoporosis, but how much do you know about it? Read “Osteoporosis: The Silent Disease” to learn more about it, how it affects the quality of life, how it can be diagnosed, and about treatments.

For several years Lehigh County Medical Society has chosen a recipient of their Humaneness in Medicine award from nominations of local residents or fellows. This award is presented to who has best displayed the Lehigh County Medical Society’s ideals of outstanding compassion in the delivery of care, respect for patients, their families, and healthcare colleagues, as well as demonstrated clinical excellence. Read the article to learn about this year’s recipient.

We hope you read “Transitions of Care.” Many of us have experienced transition of care either ourselves or through a family member. They are challenging times. Learn more about what can be done to help get better results for the patient’s care.

As we head outside in these warmer months, a great article to read is “About Tick Time.” Since our winter was warmer than usual, the bugs are more prevalent this year. Read on to learn all you need to know about Lyme disease.

We hope that you enjoy the magazine and find it both educational and relevant to your interests. If you wish to see past issues, they can be found at https://lcmedsoc.org/ our-publication. Thank you for reading.
