AnnouncingThe Doctors Company Foundation Ann S. Lofsky, MD, Research Award The APSF is pleased to announce the establishment of The Doctors Company Foundation Ann S. Lofsky, MD, Research Award. This award is made possible by a grant from The Doctors Company Foundation. A $5,000 grant will be awarded annually for the next 5 years, beginning in 2008, to a research project deemed worthy of the ideals and dedication exemplified by Dr. Ann S. Lofsky. Dr. Lofsky was a regular contributor to the APSF Newsletter, a special consultant to the APSF Executive Committee, and a member of the APSF Board of Directors. Her untimely passing cut short a much-valued and meaningful career as an anesthesiologist and as a dedicated contributor to anesthesia patient safety. It is the hope of the APSF that this award will inspire others toward her ideals and honor her memory. |
