At Temple Health, our physicians are stars—which is why we held this year’s TUH Medical Staff meeting at the Franklin Institute’s Fels Planetarium!
Medical Staff, Department Chairs, and hospital leadership gathered to celebrate our accomplishments and to thank our doctors for their hard work and commitment to our patients. TUH Medical Staff President Michael DeAngelis, MD, Vice Chair of Clinical Affairs for Emergency Medicine and Professor of Clinical Medicine at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, was the night’s host, while Meggan Drake, Operations Coordinator for Medical Staff Affairs, coordinated the event.
