C. Rollins Hanlon, MD, FACS

Fellow of the American College of Surgeons since 1953. Retired thoracic surgeon. Director of the ACS, 1969-1986; ACS Past-President; current ACS Executive Consultant.

"Even before I joined the College 50 years ago, I enjoyed the benefits of its education programs. Later, as a Fellow participating in its committees and teaching programs, I saw the need to support and extend College activities beyond what was possible with mere payment of dues.

The ACS is an organization that has brought untold benefits to millions of patients throughout the world by improving levels of surgical care and enforcing ethical standards in our profession. With decreased government subsidy and rising threats of litigation, personal gifts to the College are both financially necessary and strongly indicative of our belief in its ideals.

The College has given me the opportunity to contribute to an enterprise of greater scope and more lasting significance than any individual surgical career. Not least of all has been the inspiring benefit of innumerable professional friendships."

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