Robert W. Hobson II, MD, FACS
1939-2008

Fellow of the American College of Surgeons since 1975. ACS Governor-at-Large from New Jersey and Past-President of the New Jersey Chapter of the ACS.

"The American College of Surgeons’ great asset is its planning of superior educational opportunities for surgeons of all specialties. Coupled with the College's professional activism during recent years, the organization is to be complimented for its exemplary track record, which merits our support.

"Fellowship in the College has defined many activities
for me during my academic career. These opportunities included participation as a candidate member, submission of abstracts as a younger surgeon to the Surgical Forum, gaining ACS Fellowship, and participation in Clinical Congress programs and postgraduate courses. Participation in the annual meeting and leadership in the New Jersey Chapter of the ACS has also been a satisfying opportunity and experience.

"A gift to the ACS Foundation in the form of a charitable
trust or other contribution should be considered by
surgeons as part of a program of estate planning. Benefits are apparent for the individual surgeon and his or her family and the Foundation in its efforts to expand opportunities for ACS scholarships, and basic and clinical research programs."

Dr. Hobson supports the College financially
through active membership in the Fellows Leadership
Society.
