The PSA has been fortunate in having volunteer leadership from both academic and non-academic members. These physician members have directed the society through many stormy issues throughout the years. They continue to keep the best interest of the members of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in their sights.The current members of the Executive Committee and the members of the Board of directors are each leaders in education and leaders in healthcare. They have been preceded by members of the PSA who have influenced the way in which we all practice Anesthesia today.
Please review the names of the current and past leaders of our society. The names are easily recognizable as physicians, teachers, leaders and political activists. We should all be proud of our leaders past and present and thankful for all of their accomplishments.
