The reason I earned joint MD JD degrees at Duke University Schools Of Medicine & Law and went through years of training to achieve dual board certification in Surgical Oncology & General Surgery from the American Board of surgery, was because I wanted to return home to South Florida and help lead the fight against cancer, as a surgeon, as a scientist, and as a community leader & advocate. I have been serving in South FL on the Broward county board of the American Cancer Society (ACS) for several years, including as chairman and I have been recently named chairman of the board for Palm Beach, Broward, Miami Dade and the Keys South East Area Board.
