I want to thank you for the trust and confidence you have shown by electing me as president and I am committed to continuing in the footsteps of the esteemed Past Presidents in working with our talented Board of Directors for another year of top notch support and resource for our members. Our Board will be taking a little breather in July to have some well earned R&R but will be back in the planning stages in August to ensure a wonderful start to the new academic year. AHRMNY, the National Patient Safety Foundation and Lexington Insurance ask that you mark your calendar for September 21, 2010 as we have a great full day conference planned at the New York Helmsley Hotel, sponsored by Lexington Insurance on “ Healthcare Associated Infections: The Emerging Risk of Liability”.
