Dear UTHSC College of Medicine Community,
As the holiday season approaches, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude and extend warm Thanksgiving wishes to each and every one of you. It is during this time of reflection and appreciation that I am reminded of the unwavering dedication and exceptional work carried out by our esteemed faculty, staff, and students.
This year, in particular, has brought unprecedented challenges, requiring tremendous adaptability and resilience from our community. Your commitment to our mission has been unwavering, and I am inspired by your commitment to the university, our patients, and the broader community.
Thanksgiving reminds us to pause, reflect, and cherish the blessings we have in our lives. Let us take this opportunity to express gratitude for the privilege of serving others, for the opportunity to learn and grow, and for the support and camaraderie we share within our UTHSC College of Medicine family.
May this Thanksgiving bring joy, peace, and rejuvenation to all. Take time to rest, recharge, and enjoy the company of loved ones. Let us also remember those who are less fortunate and extend a helping hand wherever possible.
Thank you again for your outstanding contributions to UTHSC College of Medicine. Your dedication and passion continue to shape the future of healthcare and make a positive impact on countless lives.
Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful and blessed Thanksgiving!
Warm regards,
G. Nicholas Verne, MD
