Maria P. Limberis, President, HMS – PHLI am delighted to write my first letter as President of the Hellenic Medical Society of Philadelphia (HMS – PHL). I am excited about the opportunity to lead our organization as we continue our educational programs and philanthropic work to benefit our members in the Hellenic community. We have placed a significant effort in expanding our outreach programs and our mission for this year is to continue building on these initiatives. I wish to take this opportunity to acknowledge the tremendous work of our previous president Sandy Tzaferos who was instrumental in implementing several new initiatives of the HMS – PHL and praise her outstanding leadership in engaging the Hellenic community.
The new executive board consists of Gus Orfanos (Vice President), Alexia Tsikouras (Secretary), Leo Iliadis (Treasurer), Roxane Hionis (Associate Secretary) and Paul Mastoridis.
We have several upcoming and future events that I wish to bring to your attention. We very much look forward to seeing you there!
