In for another Chamber minute, it’s Rosey. While looking for positive stories, I found one that made me think about how different the world will be under a new generation’s leadership. This story represents the creativity and service-mindedness of some of today’s youth.
Dr. Demetrio Aguila, inspired by his physician father, a man who served as a doctor with joy in his heart daily, sought a higher purpose in his medical career. He became a surgeon and created a program allowing patients to pay for surgery by volunteering at local non-profits. Studies show that patients invested in their outcomes achieve better results. Dr. Aguila believes that this investment leads to successful surgeries, reduced debt, enhanced self-esteem, and community benefits. His goal is to inspire others to find innovative ways to support their communities.
At the Bay Area Chamber, we value all generations. Our business community is evolving and while we aim to continue to engage our aging population, We also know reaching out to the younger generations is crucial. We have all types of members serving on committees within your Chamber; working together, regardless of background or beliefs and that is essential. Our youth will have fresh eyes and new ideas we need to hear. Our Elders have the history and lessons learned built in that young people also need to hear. Let’s all come together and join the Chamber today…Remember our business is helping your business. Remember to like us on Facebook and heart our page on the Community Plus app.
