The welcoming voice in the video portal just to your left on this home page means: we are alive! 

Dr. Sam Williams, the live welcomer and I, Dr. Bob Roth,  the welcome note writer, are eager to introduce and share the new Lewis-Gale Continuing Medical Education Organization website with you-- particularly Southwestern Virginia physicians and medical professionals in all fields. 

It is designed and vetted for your convenience.   In searching for information, in updating your practice, in coordinating your date book with local, state and (when possible) national meetings, and in engaging in feedback where and whenever possible—the user-friendliness of this new website should become apparent.

We are aware that the cardinal axiom of medical care for the sick and injured is to "first-- do no harm."  True !!  But put more positively, it means to "do all the good you can for the sick." 

Please familiarize yourself with the several and sundry links provided. They will be periodically updated.  Hopefully, you will find a treasure trove of useful answers to searching questions.  And of course, your ideas, recommendations and criticisms are more than welcome.  So, let's hear from you !

"Dr. Sam" and I are very much indebted to Treasurer Ginger Edwards for her invaluable input along with the rest of the website committee, including Brenda Divers-Wiley, Debi Potter, and Dr. George Wall. All these have been the driving force leading to the delivery of this newborn asset !

All the best to you, your families, and your patients !
