A Message from the Foundation President
It is an incredible honor to serve as president of the SAGES Education and Research Foundation. My first ever SAGES meeting was in 1992 at the outset of the laparoscopic revolution, and it was the most electrifying meeting I have ever attended with new techniques and procedures being developed almost weekly. SAGES has meant so much to me and my career, as I’m sure it has for you, and many of the initiatives our organization has undertaken and the evolution of minimally invasive surgery over the past 25+ years would not have been possible without critical funding from the SAGES Foundation: FLS, FES, FUSE, Safe cholecystectomy, Global surgery, OWLS, and many others.
“The SAGES Education and Research Foundation has an exceptional track record of supporting research endeavors that drive innovation and enhance clinical practice. As a resident, being awarded a research grant was a defining moment that profoundly influenced my early career and set the path for my professional trajectory at SAGES and beyond. Please donate to SAGES Foundation and support the future of our field and our future leaders.”
