Greetings and welcome! Thank you for reading this semi-annual newsletter and your continued membership. My name is Hannah Do and I am your 175th President of the Bucks County Medical Society. I am a gastroenterologist in Doylestown. My involvement in PAMED started in 2018 after completing the year-round leadership academy. Since then I remain active as the Vice Chair of the PAMED Women Physicians Section.

It has been my honor and pleasure to serve this community and help implement our mission of advancing the professional and personal development of our physician members. The Bucks CMS has hosted several continuing medical and practice educational events. We also provide relevant legislative policy updates along with opportunities to advocate through our yearly legislative roundtable breakfast with local lawmakers. Furthermore, the Bucks County Medical Society makes charitable donations to non-profit groups that improve outcomes for our patients as well as the public health of the Bucks County community. In 2022, we began the process to establish a scholarship to, in the future, help deserving medical students from Bucks County.

To learn more and consider making a donation to help the future generation, please see: https://www.foundationpamedsoc.org/DonateToBucksScholarship

My work in the society has shown me that we have the power to become the leader that we need. It is imperative with so many active issues and changing landscape of healthcare that we continue to have an organized voice.

The society has also been a great source of communication, mentorship and camaraderie for me. I hope that it brings value to you and your family. I know that there are only so many hours in the day but I encourage you to continue to be engaged. You can find more information on our website: https://www.buckscms.org/
