Paul HegyiPHYSICIANS: In coordination with the State of California, the California Medical Association, and Altais, we have been working around the clock to organize our “drive through” distributions of medical–grade PPE free of charge to practices with 50 or fewer physicians. Reservations were required — we have over 800 reservations — and are now closed.

If you didn't register for this week's events, PPE can still be shipped to your practice in the next month if you qualify. Please email PPE@CMADocs.org to make that arrangement. Our staff is excited to see those practices who are participating tomorrow and Thursday at SDCCU Stadium!

A reminder to you that SDCMS is forming a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee and If you wish to nominate yourself or a colleague please email SDCMS@SDCMS.org and we will send you the nomination questionnaire. All committee members must be SDCMS members. If you are nominating a colleague, please ensure that they are willing to serve.

Finally, congratulations to local ophthalmologist Dr. Robert Penner, whose company, Color Butler, Inc., won a prestigious Bronze Telly Award for Non-Broadcast Humor promoting the Color Butler iPhone app which helps the colorblind dress for success by color matching their clothes. Dr. Penner has lived with color vision deficiency his entire life and is an inspiration for how he has helped others overcome this challenge. You can view the award–winning video if you CLICK HERE.

As always, let me know if you have any questions! Paul Hegyi, CEO
