AAS Call to Action

AAS Members:

This past few months have been a challenging time for many of our colleagues across the country as they have had to deal with mass trauma and severe weather which has shown the complexities and challenges of providing surgical care in these types of situations.

While not all of our members have been directly impacted by one of these recent episodes, we have all felt the desire to do something to support both our colleagues and the victims of these unprecedented events.

The AAS is committed to not only supporting our members but helping these communities to recover. We encourage all of you to think about ways in which you could help support our fellows colleagues and their communities as they try to recover from recent events.

Ways to help:

Become an instructor:  ACS Stop The Bleed Campaign

American Red Cross

Direct Relief

 

Thank you.

Rebecca S. Sippel

AAS President
