GREETINGS:
 

It is my pleasure to join with the American Society of Anesthesiologists to support January 11-17, 2015 as Physician Anesthesiologists Week 2015.

 

Physician anesthesiologists are vital members of the medical field. These highly trained and qualified medical professionals are instrumental in providing patients with quality care through their use of safe techniques and protocols, and they deserve to be recognized for their contributions to the healthcare community. I commend the Commonwealth’s physician anesthesiologists for their service and dedication to the well-being of their fellow citizens. It is my hope that they will continue to serve patients and the medical community for many years to come.

 

As Governor, and on behalf of all Pennsylvanians, I am pleased to support January 11-17, 2015 as Physician Anesthesiologists Week 2015.

                                           
TOM CORBETT
