Class of 1980

Peter Boling writes: “Greetings from Richmond, Virginia. I did not make last fall’s reunion event as I was on hospital inpatient teaching service. My news: On December 2, 2009, I appeared on the NBC Nightly News segment “Making a Difference” that focused on house calls.  Roger O'Neill was the reporter and Brian Williams, the anchor. This appearance resulted from articles on the Associated Press news wire and in the Los Angeles Times earlier in the summer and fall, which in turn focused on ‘Independence at Home.’ This is a new national demonstration program that is part of the health care reform legislation. I worked closely with a small group of colleagues for the past few years on the writing, promotion, and eventual passage of this bill.  We had 41 co-sponsors, including 10 Republicans and 31 Democrats, and we are now working on the implementation. The goal is to restore home-based medical care, which is the original and most truly patient-centered medical home, to a central place in the care of people with advanced chronic illness and immobility, both improving care and saving money out of the gate.

“Back at home, Sue and I recently moved to a new house in the suburbs. I continue to look after the needs of the Virginia Commonwealth University general medicine division and its 52 faculty, which includes the geriatrics programs. Cheers to all my old friends, classmates, and teachers!”
