Dear Chapter Member:
At the Chapter’s Annual Meeting on May 15, I was pleased to provide a presentation on the ACS Foundation’s activities and the new 1913 Legacy Campaign. For over 100 years, the College has improved the quality of care for the surgical patient by setting high standards for surgical education and practice and the ACS Foundation Board of Directors has launched the 1913 Legacy Campaign in honor of the ACS Centennial celebration and to raise transformative gifts for the College’s century.
The 1913 Legacy Campaign is striving to get a donation of $1,913.00 from each Fellow, representing the “birth” year for the ACS. Philanthropic investments within three priority campaign initiatives will benefit the surgeon, the profession, and the societal good and will help shape the next 100 years of the ACS:
The Profession promoting best practices and quality improvements through the newly established Codman Quality and Safety Fund and programs for rural surgery and surgical ethics
The Societal Good new funding opportunities for patient education programs and support for surgical volunteerism
