Letter from the President

Dear SATA members,
It has been a time of great reflection in the nation.  The death of Mr. George Floyd ignited an outcry for immediate change.   Our role as physicians and caregivers to the public has never been more important than now.  We share the public’s grief at the injustice and civil unrest, but know we must remain strong because we are and will always be the ones people rely on in the most difficult times.  
In these challenging times I believe there is no greater time of hope than now.  We contribute by continuing our time-honored tradition of doing the most to honor and save every life; one at a time.  This is our commitment to all humanity.  As transplant anesthesiologists, we have a unique understanding of the purposeful work it takes to ensure every person has an equal access to all resources.  We believe that every single life matters. 
I send this message to all our members to thank you for the tireless work you continue to do that serves the public.
