Dear Colleagues:
It is with somewhat mixed emotions that I share with you my decision to step down as Chair of the
Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, effective September 1, 2014.
When I accepted the position in 2002, I anticipated serving as Chair for a period of 10 years, having a
vision of what I hoped to accomplish during that time. I approach the age of 65 next year having served as
Chair of two anesthesia departments ? UMASS then BWH ? over the last two decades. I have always felt
that a leader is most effective during the first decade of service, after which time there can be diminishing
returns on the energy invested in the challenges faced. I feel that is certainly true in my case, and that by
this measure, I am two years past due in making this decision.
I am very proud of what we have accomplished as a department over the last 12 years.
We have matured, expanded and reorganized to meet the demands of a changing environment.
Our department now provides anesthesia services to patients on four campuses, including 850 Boylston,
the BWFH and Patriot Place. We now provide non-operative anesthesia services to almost 10
times as many patients as we did in 2001.
