AHTF 2023 Happy Hour With a Scholar Recap

The American Hand Therapy Foundation held its biggest fundraiser of the year, the 2023 “Happy Hour with a Scholar” event.  The event was held in conjunction with the ASHT Annual Meeting on Friday, September 29, 2023, at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, TX.

It is with great privilege that we were able to honor San Antonio native, Dr. David Green, as this year’s honored speaker. He has been referred to as “Hand Surgeon to the World.” Amongst his many accomplishments, he is a founder of the San Antonio Hand Center, and the first surgeon in San Antonio to devote his entire practice to the hand and upper extremity. He has a passion for teaching and mentorship and he gave an inspiring talk that was titled “On The Shoulders of Mortals.” He spoke about different teaching and learning styles and talked about the importance of being humble mentors. He gave many examples of great teachers and mentoring styles.

The event was well attended and a huge success! The AHTF Board of Directors would like to thank North Coast Medical for underwriting AHTF’s signature fundraising event as well as our many co-sponsors, partners and attendees for their generous support. We look forward to hosting the 2024 “Happy Hour with a Scholar” and welcome Co-Sponsors (this can be an individual, a combination of individuals, a special interest group, business, university, or association) for 2024!
