Julius H. Jacobson II, MD, FACS

"I have been fortunate to have a rewarding career in surgery. For that I am indebted to the institutions that gave me an excellent education and to the ACS for allowing me to make my early work known. I am grateful that I am able in some measure to repay these debts and I strongly believe that each one of us is obliged to "give back."

"The ACS is a finely administered organization that educates and maintains professional standards for those who care for you and those you love. Beyond altruism, then, it is clearly in your self-interest to contribute to the ACS. At the same time, you will further the advances in surgery that will ultimately benefit patients worldwide.

"Of the many organizations in which I participate, the ACS has done more than any other to widely disseminate advances in knowledge."

Fellow of the American College of Surgeons since 1961. Vascular surgeon. Has endowed four surgical and medical professorships and an ACS annual Innovation Award. Author of The Classical Music Experience.

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