Kevin O'Malley Evelyn Gathecha, MD, FHM, FACP True leadership is about accountability. Do what you say you’ll do, no matter the challenges. That’s exactly what we achieved at Society of Hospital Medicine Maryland Chapter. We set bold goals, met them, and closed the year strong. Our focus is to empower hospitalists to network, grow, and uncover new job opportunities. Last Thursday, we hosted our last event of the year. It was absolutely epic. SHM Maryland Chapter is all about building connections, creating opportunities, and leading with purpose. What does leadership mean to you? #MarylandChapterSHM #Leadership #Networking #Gratitude #HowWeHospitalist
