We continue to see differing perspectives on the current response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Lexington Medical Society continues to support the messaging and efforts of the local and state health departments while recognizing the impacts on our lives and the community around us. The focus is continuing to decrease the spread of the virus while awaiting vaccine. Physicians can disagree on substantive issues while fostering open dialogue and meaningful respectful conversations. We can agree to disagree. Healthy discussion promotes better understanding of one another and can generate new ideas.

KMA President's Message

KMA President 2020-21
"And We're Off..."
Dale Toney, MD
My first few weeks serving as President of the KMA certainly got off to a running start.
 
I was proud to begin my year by representing Kentucky physicians as part of the KMA and KFMC’s public health campaign, “Raise Your Guard, KY,” in partnership with the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Kentucky.
 
Raise Your Guard, KY encourages Kentuckians to see their physician for well-visits and to update their vaccinations in an effort to maintain optimal health. It launched in August in conjunction with Immunization Awareness Month, and the initiative’s kickoff video was shown by Gov. Beshear during one of his 4pm press conferences. In addition to billboards, radio, and streaming service advertisements, Raise Your Guard, KY also included targeted social media and web ads, which were distributed in areas of the state where we had seen the greatest decline in vaccination rates since the beginning of the pandemic.

Why did you become a physician?
I’m from the small community of Stanford (2,000 people)…so I was a city boy. I first became interested in medicine when I had an appendectomy at 13 years old. My two best friends in high school were also interested in medicine so that provided positive reinforcement. One of my friend’s father was a family practitioner who did general surgery. When he learned that I was interested in medicine, he invited me to watch him perform surgery which also strengthened my resolve. After graduating from Emory University, I came to medical school wanting to be a family practitioner who also did surgery like my physician role model, but of course I couldn’t do that. By the end of my third year, it finally dawned on me that obstetrics and gynecology is really family medicine for women, and I got to do surgery.
