Membership in COS is important to me because I feel that as surgeons, we have an obligation to project our profession and advocate for the future care of our patients.  COS helps me to stay up to date with shifting laws surrounding state and federal healthcare programs.  I have always found that COS has the best interest of providers and patients at heart.
