Jumping into the Deep End…
Summertime; my favorite time of year! Flowers are blooming, hamburgers on the grill, sunsets with cocktails in hand and refreshing dips in the pool are just a few of my favorite things about summer. TMAA is mostly quiet for the majority of our members during these warm months but as TMAA President I have been busy planning the year ahead.
First of all, let me introduce myself. I am Lisa St. Charles and I have been married to Chris St. Charles for 30+ years. My husband is a newly retired ENT/Head and Neck surgeon, and we live on Signal Mountain. We have 3 children who live across the United States, so we have been spending time catching up with them and our 2 grandsons in retirement. What a joy and blessing! As a registered nurse by training, my interests lie in the health education arena which TMAA gives me the opportunity to explore and use my talents. When I am not spending time with my family, you can find me on the golf course, on a hiking trail, or having lunch with friends.
Update 2025 will be held in Johnson City Tuesday, August 26, please mark your calendars and join us. It will be a great time to connect with our fellow physician spouses and partners. The registration form is on our website,TMAalliance.org We will be introducing a new initiative for funding our health grant program and I would love to have you there to hear about this program. Update 2025 will be a great way to get my TMAA President year started so please consider attending.
Finally, I feel honored and blessed to be your 2025-2026 TMAA President. Thank you for having confidence in me as the 98th President of TMAA. Our centennial year is coming fast!
As I said before, one of my favorite things is refreshing summer dips in the pool. This year I find myself diving in the deep end more than just dipping my toes. (It’s really hot!) I hope you will jump in the TMAA deep end with me this year. I promise you will find the TMAA waters refreshing, rewarding and revitalizing.
Lisa St Charles | TMAA President
