MICHELLE FEGER | GLMSA CO-PRESIDENT | [email protected]
BE A PART OF THE GREATER LOUISVILLE MEDICAL SOCIETY ALLIANCE THIS YEAR
H
i, my name is Michelle Feger. I am
co-president of the Greater Louisville
Medical Society Alliance with Rhonda
Rhodes for the 2014-2015 year. I am excited to
serve with Rhonda this year, as we have many interesting and appealing opportunities planned.
I have been married to Tim Feger, MD, for 27
years. Tim is an allergist with Family Allergy
and Asthma. We have three daughters ranging from 24 to 18 years
of age. I am an RN who started my nursing career at Kosair Children’s Hospital in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit many years ago.
I continued working at the Visiting Nurse Association in pediatric
home health and then in a physician’s office until I retired to raise
my children. I became a member of the GLMSA about eight years
ago. I love the social and service aspects of the Alliance, along with
the comraderie of being with other amazing people who face the
same issues and challenges I do during this ever-changing time in
medicine.
I look forward to the year ahead! Jenny Jacob worked hard last
spring to update our dues statement to make it clear, concise, and
easier to read. That really helped us get our dues mailing out for the
upcoming year, which we did in early June. We’re getting ready to
kick off our year with a busy September.
First we will have our opening luncheon September 2nd at
11:30am at my house to outline our events/activities for the year.

Next the Kentucky Medical Association Alliance annual meeting
is September 14-16th at the Hyatt Regency, here in Louisville.

After that, the GLMS Foundation Scholarship Golf Tournament
is September 22nd. Please consider putting a team together for
this wonderful event. If you’re not a golfer, the awards reception that follows the tournament is fun to attend. For more
information, go to glms.org and look under upcoming events.

Lastly, John and Rhonda Rhodes will host “Pumpkins and
Politics,” a KPPAC Legislative Reception, on September 27th at
their home. It will be a great opportunity to learn what’s going
on in the upcoming legislative session.
We would love for you to join us this year. Being a member will
offer you the opportunity to build friendships, attend interesting
meetings, volunteer for various service opportunities, and learn
of legislative changes that are affecting medical families today.
The dues statement is available online at www.glms.org under the
