Greetings from Orlando Health! We hope everyone has continued to remain healthy and hopeful since last we spoke. We look forward to 2021 returning some semblance of normalcy to our lives.

In March, Orlando Health had its 4th Annual Dr. Sal Silvestri Memorial Wiffle Ball Game, where residents, attendings and faculty gathered in honor of the great Sal Silvestri. His loving and family-centered legacy continues ever on. Let’s all remember to love each other and #livelikeSal.

Many of our faculty and residents presented at the virtual CORD conference this year. A special congratulations to our speakers: Drs. Sara Baker, Erich Heine, Susan Miller, Anne Shaughnessy and Tory Weatherford. You all made us proud!

Orlando Health has officially rolled out its new Epic-based EMR system, which was spearheaded by Dr. Joshua Briscoe, our Medical Director of IT Innovation. Way to go!

We are thrilled to welcome all 18 of our new interns to the Orlando Health Family. Thank you to our interview committee who worked endlessly to make the interview season enjoyable and productive. Also, congratulations to our new chiefs and fearless leaders: Drs. Courtney James, Connor Karr and William Waite!

Finally, we lament to say goodbye to all of our amazing seniors. We have been blessed to learn under you all over the last few years, and we will miss you dearly.

Good luck to everyone in 2021. Keep wearing those masks and washing those hands so we can go to the beach in the summer!
