Mark S. Soberman , MD, MBA, FACS, has been elected president of the Association of Community Cancer Centers for the 2017-2018 term.
Soberman — medical director for the oncology service line and chief physician executive for Monocacy Health Partners at Frederick Regional Health System — called the association “the leading education and advocacy organization for the multidisciplinary cancer care team.”
“We can all acknowledge that we still have work to do to ensure a solid foundation from which to grow the next-generation multidisciplinary cancer care team,” Soberman said in a press release. “One essential piece to this foundation is moving to strengthen and expand our care connections while lessening the siloes that still sometimes exist. So many [association] members are making exciting, innovative changes in this area, and I look forward to learning from them and sharing their ideas and solutions.”
Soberman previously served as vice chair of the department of surgery, as well as director of the thoracic oncology and thoracic surgery sections, at MedStar Washington Hospital Center. He also served as director of the division of thoracic surgery at Georgetown University Hospital and director of the thoracic surgery section at Sibley Memorial Hospital.
“Oncology is most definitely a team effort. I’m honored to serve as President of the Association of Community Cancer Centers, the leading education and advocacy organization for the multidisciplinary cancer care team,” Soberman added in the release.
