I wish more states where we have many RAMA members formed chapters. It will give you a lot of benefits, recognition, ability to get support from the pharmaceutical industry, ability to support each other better, ability to raise money etc.

To ALL members of the Ohio Chapter of RAMA!

We need your help.

More information will be posted soon.

The meeting will be at the Maggiano's Restaurant at the Beachwood Place Mall - (216)755-3000 in a second-floor dining room. There will be a short lecture on DVT Prophylaxis prior to the business part of the meeting.

I talked to the CEO of one of the largest hospitals on the East side of Cleveland and he is very interested in becoming a sponsor of our August concert. More than 100,000 people from former USSR live in this area.

I will talk to the CEOs of two more competing hospital groups tomorrow.

We need to raise a large sum of money and we will.

[Boris]

Both, Cleveland Clinic Foundation and the University Hospitals of Cleveland will support our event in August. I will talk to the CEO of the third (the smallest medical system) in Cleveland - the Lake Hospital System - tomorrow. I am sure they will support us too.
