From the Desk of Dr. Sinnott... |

This month marked my one year anniversary as Chairman of the Department of Internal Medicine.
As I reflect on the year I am proud to lead this department, full of faculty and staff who enable us to achieve so many great accomplishments.
You have all made wonderful progress that contributes to our mission of providing the optimum patient centered teaching, patient centered research, and patient centered care.
It's also important to thank our many partners and friends of the department who support and guide us, enabling our team to do the best work possible.
Thank you all for a terrific first year as Chairman. I look forward to many more. See you next year!
Warmly,
John
