Theodor Lang
Theodor Lang, MD, a staff radiologist at what is now OSF HealthCare Saint Anthony Medical Center, founded the May Day Conference. His goal was to improve patient care by gathering physicians from across the region for a day of education and fellowship under one tent. While no longer under a tent, we continue to pursue Dr. Lang's goal. OSF HealthCare is proud to continue the tradition of the May Day Medical Conference.
Raymond E. Hoffman Jr., MD, Memorial Lecture
This year's lecture, "How the Robot Has Revolutionized Thoracic Surgery" is in honor of Dr. Hoffman and will be presented by Michael Hart, DO. Dr. Hoffman was a skilled surgeon and leader at OSF HealthCare Saint Anthony Medical Center and was instrumental in developing the Northern Region EMS Paramedic Education Program. He had served in multiple state and national positions, culminating in his election as president of the Illinois State Medical Society. He was a remarkable mentor, role model, beloved physician and esteemed colleague.
