TMA Winter Conference
During general session at
TMA Winter Conference in
January, Don Read, MD, listened
as his long-time friend Rick Snyder, MD,
ran through a litany of accomplishments,
saving the most pertinent detail for last.
When Dr. Snyder called Dr. Read’s name,
his surprise was evident. Dr. Snyder
presented him with a resolution from the
Texas Senate, along with a Texas flag that
had flown over the Capitol in recognition of
his years of advocating for Texas patients.
Dr. Read is a past president of DCMS and
TMA. Drs. Snyder and LeeAnn Pearse
