The National Lipid Association along with a panel of outside experts from various disciplines convened for a workshop in late July to examine how health information technology (HIT) can be used, to effectively improve LDL-C goal attainment. The workshop committee of experts included participants from academic medical centers, health care policy organizations, large health care systems, as well as members from the HIT and pharmaceutical industries.

It is my pleasure and honor to have become President of the Pacific Chapter of the National Lipid Association. I bring with me the experience of working with two tremendous past Presidents, J. Antonio G. López, MD and John Nelson, MD. I am excited that we have such a dynamic chapter with enthusiastic members. Our executive board is very involved and experienced.  I know that I will have the help I need to make this a very successful year for the PLA.

It is a privilege to be elected as President of the Southwest Chapter of the National Lipid Association for the upcoming year. I am looking forward to working closely with the brilliant minds of our organization and a strong and motivated board of directors that comprise our leadership.
