GLMS SENIOR PHYSICIANS COMMITTEE
AUTHOR McKenna Byerley
T
he second Tuesday of most every month, a special group
of members come together at GLMS Headquarters for
an hour of fellowship, laughter, and at times, friendly
banter. The GLMS Senior Physicians Committee, lead by
Dr. Charles Oberst, hosts a variety of speakers on a wide
variety of engaging topics. It would be impossible to tally
the years of collective membership that sits in that room
at any given meeting, but we’ll venture to guess it’s in the thousands.
Much can be learned from this wise group of GLMS physicians, and
the stories they have to share are invaluable. We hope you'll join us
at an upcoming meeting soon.
