Dr. Tom Edes, Past-President AAHCM  Most importantly, though, Connie Row is someone who has shown us all how to live your passion. Connie has translated the power of her belief in and passion for the field of house calls into dynamic actions - actions which have in large part made today’s more favorable climate possible. I am personally grateful to have worked alongside Connie and I know the industry owes her a big thank you, as well. Brent Feorene, Treasurer AAHCM
