 ========================= END NOTE =========================


  As President of the Medical Association of Georgia, Dr. Reisman will 
serve his fellow physicians, patients, and the state of Georgia by 
working to enhance patient care and the health of the public by 
advancing the art and science of medicine and by representing 
physicians and patients in the policy making process.
  Upon being sworn in for his one-year term as president, Dr. Reisman 
remarked he plans to focus on tort reform, surprise medical bills, the 
``data entry crisis'' and scope of practice, ultimately working to 
ensure Georgians have access to the care they need.
  As a family physician with the Longstreet Clinic in Oakwood, Georgia, 
Dr. Reisman has served our community since 1996. He is the third-ever 
doctor from Hall County to serve as President of the Medical 
Association of Georgia.
  Dr. Reisman previously served as Secretary for the Medical 
Association of Georgia. He is also a member of the Georgia Composite 
Medical Board, the Hall County Medical Society, the American Medical 
Association, and the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians.
  Dr. Reisman has a medical degree from the University of Miami and 
completed his residency at the University of Maryland.
  Dr. Reisman has dedicated his career to bettering the lives of his 
patients and bettering the greater medical community as a whole. On 
behalf of the people of Northeast Georgia, I want to commend my good 
friend for his remarkable work and congratulate him on being sworn in 
as President of the Medical Association of Georgia.
