The Staff Society welcomes letters from members of the LIJ staff. These are published here in order to share thoughts, concerns, accomplishments, kudos, honors, and ideas about any other topic relevant to the Staff Society or the LIJ Medical Center. Letters, which may include photographs, may be submitted to the editor by email. They should be signed. All letters will be responded to. They are subject to editing for content and tone. Threads will be maintained. That is, a letter submitted in response to another letter will be published along with the previous one. These threads are strongly encouraged.
