Happy New Year everyone! I hope that you all had a great holiday. For me personally, I took some time to enjoy simply chilling out at home, and played a few rounds of tennis on those days when the weather was quite un-winterlike.

I would love for everyone in the department to really get to know each other. What holiday traditions do you have? Do you have any New Year resolutions? If you have photos or fun stories from the holidays that you're willing to share, please send them in!

With the new year upon us, we can turn our focus to the future. May it bring new experiences, enrich your lives, and see goals accomplished. I’m excited to see what each of you does this year.

Be well,
Ruth O'Regan, M.D.
