At the direction of their leadership, the membership of the Dade County Medical Association (DCMA), recently held a fundraiser to benefit physicians from Lee County who have been impacted by Hurricane Ian’s devastation. As a result of their efforts, over $13,500 was raised to help physicians in the impacted areas through the Lee County Medical Society Foundation (LCMSF).
“This contribution is from doctors for doctors because, in addition to being physicians, we are humans, and we go through situations that are not in our control. We must help each other in times of need,” commented Dr. Rafael J. Fernández, President of the DCMA.
“A special thank you to all members and the DCMA Executive Committee for their donations. This means a lot to our physicians. This contribution will be used to help and support doctors who have experienced stress, anxiety, losses, and other situations due to the hurricane” said Dr. Tracy Vo, President of the LCMSF.
