I am the current co-president of the Medical Society of Virginia Alliance and just saw that Beth Bortz is going to be honored on May 14th as an “Influential Woman of Virginia”
I couldn’t agree more and am thrilled that Beth will be receiving this honor. The work of the foundation which she directs provides enormous health benefits for the citizens of the Commonwealth.
Thank you for recognizing Ms. Bortz
