From the President
Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen-
On behalf of the Polish-American Medical Society I would
like to welcome you to the 51st “Physicians’
Ball”. This year we witness the 55th anniversary
of the Polish-American Medical Society and take part in
its 51st Ball. The annual “Physicians’ Ball”
has become a tradition throughout the years - serving
as a primary factor to unite Polish -American physicians
by allowing them an opportunity to visit with their peers
and friends as well as spend an evening with their families.
Your continued patronage and generous support has made
the Ball a coveted social event.
The Polish-American Medical Society fulfills many functions
- the most important being to initiate, organize, and
sponsor professional and charitable activities and events.
Our membership, consisting of more than 400 physicians
of all specialties, distinguishes us from other local
medical organizations, as well as the Polish medical émigré
organizations throughout the world. In addition to promoting
the Society’s professional and charitable activities,
we work diligently with other local organizations that
benefit metropolitan Polonia. For the first time in the
history of the Polish-American Medical Society, the Society
has organized a continuous medical education symposium
with approved credit hours. The symposium was co-sponsored
by the Chicago Medical Society.
In the four years as President of the Society, I witnessed
a blooming of our organization - numerous educational
and charitable meetings and health fairs as well as picnics,
holiday gatherings, and sports competitions are attracting
more and more physicians and are now an integral part
of the Society.
The proceeds from the Ball support many worthy charities.
The following organizations have benefited from our donations,
for example: the Kosciuszko Foundation, the Polish-American
Symphony Orchestra, the Charitable Foundation of the Polish
American Congress, the Lira Singers, the Polish Museum
of America, the Polish American Association, A Gift of
the Heart Foundation, and the Warsaw Committee of the
Sister Cities International Program of Chicago. Furthermore
the proceeds from the Ball are used to fully fund the
Education Fund of the Polish-American-Medical Society;
tonight it is our privilege to host the Fund’s fifth
and sixth recipients: Dr. Piotr Marianowski from Warsaw
and Dr. Marek Murawski from Wroclaw, Poland. Those grants
will allow Dr. Marianowski and Dr. Murawski to enrich
their medical skills at Rush–Presbyterian-St. Luke’s
Medical Center. Congratulations! |
