Dear Colleagues,
The cherry blossoms here in Brooklyn are starting to bloom, the baseball season is in full swing (and the Mets are in 1st place – for now! - unfortunately we can’t say the same for the Buffalo Bisons, the Toronto Blue Jays farm team). Passover and Easter have come and gone. In Buffalo, we’re partaking in the largest Dyngus Day celebration in the USA. Look it up… you will be glad you did! With all that going on, you know what else that means: another new year for the New York ACP!
The “ACP year” starts annually at the end of the national Internal Medicine Meeting, which was held in New Orleans this year from April 3-5. The meeting is always energizing, and this year held special significance for us. We have the pleasure of taking over as your NYACP Chapter Co-Presidents. We thought we would use this month’s Presidents’ Message to introduce ourselves. First, however, we want to extend a huge “Thank you!” to Susan Lee MD, FACP, who completed her 4-year term as Long Island Region Governor and the past year as NYACP Chapter President. Susan did a wonderful job, and we have big shoes to fill. Susan will still be working hard for ACP, and we would like to express our heartfelt congratulations to her on becoming a newly elected member of the ACP Board of Regents. She has already begun her work in that role. Way to go, Susan. You’ve got this!

ACP's Internal Medicine Meeting Recap
Nearly 500 members of the New York Chapter traveled to New Orleans in April for the IM2025 conference—an exciting and memorable experience for all! The Chapter proudly celebrated new Fellows, Masterships, award recipients, and Governors during the April 3rd Convocation Ceremony. Cheers went up to the Staten Island University Hospital’s Dr’s Dilemma Team, and congratulations were in order for the residents, fellows, and students who showcased their work in the poster and podium competition!
