NJSPS

In 2020, NJSPS was instrumental throughout the COVID shutdowns to get elective surgeries back on schedule at hospitals and surgery centers across the state. NJSPS worked tirelessly with Dr. Steve Fallek, NJSPS 2020/2021 president, by advocating with the Commissioner of Health and the Governor ™s office to lift the restrictions on elective surgeries by May of 2020. Without NJSPS ™ advocacy and education of policymakers, elective plastic surgeries may have been singled out to remain shut down. Dr. Fallek was an excellent representative during this challenging year and helped facilitate coalition with other ASPS state chapters in establishing the Northeast COVID-19 Task Force to share information and coordinate our advocacy efforts.
