PAPS President

As we enter this holiday season, I invite you to join me in celebrating the many accomplishments of our members featured in this month’s newsletter. Each achievement reflects the dedication and excellence that defines our society.

This year has brought its share of challenges—economic pressures, evolving healthcare demands, and the need for innovation in patient care. Yet, through it all, our members have demonstrated unwavering commitment to our mission and to each other. Together, we have advanced education, strengthened advocacy, and expanded opportunities for collaboration. These successes remind us that progress is possible even in the most difficult times.

Looking ahead, our December Full Council Meeting will focus on critical decisions to ensure we remain fiscally responsible while continuing to deliver value and engagement for our members. These conversations are not easy, but they are essential for building a sustainable future for our society while balancing our need to continue to innovate, grow, and bring value to our members. 

The holiday season offers a moment to pause and reflect. It reminds us that perseverance and dedication begin within—and that our collective strength lies in our shared purpose. Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we are building something extraordinary: a society rooted in dedication, driven by collaboration, and committed to excellence in psychiatric care.

Wishing you peace, joy, and renewal this holiday season. May the coming year bring new opportunities for growth, connection, and impact.

Warmly,

Kavita Fischer, MD
