Great meeting this week. Acting Pres, Todd Fischer, welcomed Dr. Huy Pham who is a fellowship-trained breast radiologist and the Director of Breast Imaging at Boise Radiology Group, where he delivers advanced screening and diagnostic care to the Boise community.

Dr. Pham shared his vision for helping the poor in Vietnam receive basic screening for breast cancer to reduce fatalities. While the country has transitioned over the past several decades there is still a large gap on healthcare delivery.

Also this week, Todd introduced a new option called Overtime. For those interested, they are invited to stick around after the meeting for a smaller conversation designed to get to know each other.

Great to see Rotarians and guests.
