AHNS Endorses ACS Statement on Recent Violence and Protests

Dear AHNS Member,

The American Head and Neck Society (AHNS) strongly endorses the below statement from the American Colleges of Surgeons (ACS) regarding the recent violence and protests. Please join us in supporting the ACS and please stay safe and well. Thank you.

American College of Surgeons Response To Recent Violence and Protests

Recent events across the country have significantly impacted us all, particularly Fellows who are members of Black and Brown communities.

The ACS stands in solidarity against racism, violence, and intolerance. Our mission is to serve all with skill and fidelity, and that extends beyond the operating room.

Racism, brutal attacks, and subsequent violence must end. We will help any injured, and we will use our voice in support of the health and safety of every person.
