Speaker- Robbie Pearl - read his message here, then pictures from the luncheon below
It was a pleasure and a privilege to address the Retired Physicians' Association at this month’s quarterly meeting. Seeing so many colleagues and having the chance to congratulate all on the success they helped achieve was great. I summarized some conversation on my website, and hope you will enjoy reading about the day. <http://robertpearlmd.com/retired-physicians/>
Many people wanted to sign up for my “Monthly Musings” in which I offer insights into what is happening in American health care today. If you are interested, please drop me a note at <drrobertpearl@gmail.com> and I will add you to the recipients.
Once again, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to speak with the Retired Physicians’ Association and to honor the rich heritage of TPMG. I am proud of all we accomplished and the success we have had. I hope all of you are proud of what you accomplished across your career, and hope to speak at the event in the future.
Thank You, Robbie
