all

I am honored and excited to be the president of the SWLA for the next 12 months. I look forward to working with our board of directors and as many of the members in our region as possible. I submit that many of you have great ideas in how to grow our membership and move our organization forward - please share those ideas with us. In the end, we have a common goal - to enhance the practice of lipid management in clinical medicine. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to lead.

Sincerely,
Kari Uusinarkaus, MD, FNLA
