As a child growing up in Kentucky, my family would often drive the backroads together and find a spot to watch the sunset. I took it for granted as a child but after I returned from college and medical training to begin my professional life, I found the Kentucky backroads and countryside to be my respite. I often relive the nostalgia by taking a backroad drive to hike somewhere, but particularly during the pandemic, Kentucky's inspiring landscape has been my salve. ~ Danesh Mazloomdoost, MD

Acceptance for Lexington Medical Society Presidency
