Greetings. I'm Dennis Gingrich from Hershey, Pennsylvania. The COVID-19 pandemic is an incredible

challenge to all of us. And you know, we're going to face more problems during the coming weeks and months.

We need to remember that as family physicians, we have a lot going for us. We're versatile, we're adaptable, we're practical problem

solvers, we're connected to our communities in ways that a lot of other physicians aren't,

and we're accustomed to dealing with complex problems. Family physicians are an indispensable

resource that our society needs as we deal with a pandemic such as this. And remember, as family physicians, we are all in

this together and we will work together to achieve the best possible solution for our patients,

for our communities, for our staff, for our families, and for ourselves. Because that's what

we've been trained so well to do. So stay safe, stay together, and Godspeed.
