Dr. Hasan delivered two impactful presentations: 1. Harnessing Private Equity for Enhanced Advocacy in Ophthalmology: In this talk, Dr. Hasan explored the potential of private equity to strengthen advocacy efforts within the field of ophthalmology, providing insights that could shape the future of our specialty. 2.

This session was attended by esteemed members of the study club, including department chairs, researchers, educators, and practicing clinicians. The meeting was also attended by fellow Retina Consultants of America (RCA) members, Dr. Curtis Hagedorn of Denver, CO, and Dr. Matthew Cunningham of Orlando, FL, further emphasizing the collaborative spirit and leadership within our network.

🎉 Join us in celebrating Liz Porcz’s 25-year anniversary! 🎉 Dr. Cohen proudly presented Liz with her plaque! Liz joined Illinois Retina back in 1998, which, if you do the math, will tell you we were a little late in celebrating this 25-year milestone. She left us for a brief period but quickly decided she missed her team and loved it so much here, that she came back! Liz is an integral part of our Skokie crew and a fixture at our check-out desk. No one gets past her without scheduling that follow-up appointment! Liz, we appreciate all you do and we hope to get at least another 25 years out of you! Celebrate her in the comments!   www.illinoisretina.com Click here to find locations near you! https://lnkd.in/gTer4j9 #IllinoisRetina #TheRetinaCenter #Retina #WorkAnniversary
