AHNS Foundation Establishes Dr. Chris O’Brien FundThe Research and Education Foundation of the American Head and Neck Society has established a fund honoring Dr. Chris O’Brien.
More than $100,000 has already been pledged, but we hope to raise even more. The income generated by this fund will be used to support a lecture honoring Dr. O’Brien at the International Conference on Head and Neck Cancer,held every four years. The funds will also be used to support the Chris O’Brien Traveling Scholar Award - an opportunity for promising young head and neck surgeons to visit the United States or Australia/New Zealand to further their education.
Dr. O’Brien has made significant contributions to AHNS over the years. He has been a member of the AHNS since its inception and currently serves on AHNS Council. He has given prestigious lectures for AHNS, including the Hayes Martin Lecture, and has made significant advancements in the field of head and neck cancer, including the creation of the Sydney Head and Neck Cancer Institute, which he founded in 2002. Unfortunately, Dr. O'Brien was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor last year. The good news is that his initial treatment has been successful, and his courage and strength during this time has been inspirational.
To donate to the Chris O’Brien Fund, please contact the AHNS Office at 310-437-0559, ext. 114 or e-mail . Thank you in advance for your generosity.
