American Head and Neck Society Past Presidents' Dedication

In order to recognize and preserve for posterity the many contributions of all of the past presidents of The American Head and Neck Society and its predecessors, The American Society for Head and Neck Surgery and the Society for Head and Neck Surgery, the History Committee created a web page within the AHNS website that has captured their legacy as a past leader in head and neck surgery for future generations of head and neck surgeons. Each past president was an important part of how this society was created and the stature it enjoys today.
