“SHM is the home for hospitalists and has been my professional home for 25 years. It brings a sense of community, of belonging, and of feeling valued at a time when so much of our world feels in constant flux. SHM is our home, so being a member is an invitation to engage, to lead, and to create. SHM is driven by its members and the opportunities to get involved are limitless. rough the collective voice and impact of SHM, our members are leading and advancing the field of hospital medicine locally, nationally, and globally. Hospitalists provide outstanding clinical care to the acutely ill while also constantly improving the system within which we care for patients. As president, I take pride in SHM and our members making a real difference.”
SHM members have the opportunity to connect with Dr. Chad T. Whelan and other leaders in our Prez Room webinars each month to address concerns, questions, or provide feedback.

I’m immensely grateful to the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) for providing a platform to showcase my passion for this field and my commitment to systems change and quality improvement principles. SHM has been instrumental in shaping my career.
