The Brienza Memorial Lecture

ADSA friend and long-time member Dr. Michael John Brienza of Brooklyn and Shelter Island, NY, passed away on April 10, 2009. To honor Dr. Brienza, his family and friends have created and endowed the Michael Brienza Memorial Lecture with ADSA's Anesthesia Research Foundation.
