Jon works tirelessly behind the scenes as the chief administrative fellow for the ACTA program. He leads by action and example - often assuming the burden of unexpected absences or additional work. His sacrifice does not go unnoticed, and I think I speak on behalf of all the ACTA fellows when I say thank you for everything that you do! - Sawyer Naze, MD

Kudos to Osa, one of our Critical Care Medicine fellows! I just wanted to say great job! Osa organized donation collections from the SICU/CTICU for the Durham Rescue Mission over the holidays. I'm impressed - new to Durham but stepped up to care for your community in a wonderful way, collecting a carful of donations for the rescue mission! THANK YOU for your kindness, generosity and caring. - Nancy Knudsen, MD
