Dr. Stacy Taylor, a family medicine physician, was inaugurated as the 185th president of the Connecticut State Medical Society (CSMS). She succeeds Dr. David J. Hass, who just completed his one-year term as the organization’s president.
In addition to her practice as a family physician, Taylor is a clinical instructor for the University of Connecticut’s School of Medicine and the university’s Family Medicine Residency Program. She has served on CSMS’s board of directors as a representative from Litchfield County and chaired the Women’s Section and the Strategic Planning Committee. She is also an active member of the American Academy of Family Physicians and has served as president, secretary and legislative chair of the Connecticut Academy of Family Physicians. She has served as a delegate in the American Medical Association House of Delegates.
“Patient care has always held a very important spot in my life. In my own practice, it is essential my patients feel safe and cared for, and it is critical that patients can experience that anywhere they receive care in Connecticut,” said Taylor. “I want to thank our outgoing president David J. Hass for all he contributed to our incredible society in the last year. It is my greatest pleasure to take on this role as president and continue the Society’s push for legislative action and provide the best care to all patients in Connecticut.”
