MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT
Dr. Stephanie dotchin

It is hard to believe that it has been over a year since COVID-19 made its entry in March. It has resulted in restrictions on the general public as well as acute overarching pressures on all medical professionals globally that continue today. Here in Alberta, medical personnel continue to face new demands as hospitals and ICUs filled throughout the year, threatening capacity and putting many elective procedures on hold. Now, with mass vaccinations underway, there is hope our lives will return to some degree of stability towards the end of summer.
Leaders are frequently asked to combine vision, mandate and authority. As ophthalmologists, EPSAA members are the authority on eye and vision care in Alberta. We understand all too well the importance of vision, and I hope our collective vision continues to drive us to serve Albertans well.
