When we take skin for granted, we take our lives and future for granted.

The pace of scientific discovery is only getting faster. Our understanding of dermatology may grow exponentially over the course of a career, but still more questions arise every day. The key to meeting the evolving challenges is sustained, innovative research. Visionary Society estate gifts ensure the powerful advancements yet to come are realized, and patients receive the care they need.

My career in dermatology has kept me challenged and engaged — always learning. My volunteer time with the Derm Foundation has led to a deeper appreciation of the impact their awards make to our patients and the future of dermatology.  I am honored to be a Visionary Society member so the spirit of always learning continues.
