TSA President Dr. David Bryant
We are in unique times as we are amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The very fabric of practice in Texas was disrupted. We have many challenges for the coming year.
As incoming president, I get to offer my thoughts on hope and what gives me optimism for the future advancement of our specialty and humankind despite the obstacles for each.

TSA Past President Dr. Evan Pivalizza
I trust that I have been able to advance the goals of this great organization and I am excited about our future after a most challenging year.
I eagerly look forward to Dave Bryant’s guidance and leadership as incoming president and pledge my continued support to the TSA.

Gov. Greg Abbott reauthorizes elective surgeries
Gov. Greg Abbott reauthorized non-emergent elective surgeries at hospitals as part of his executive orders issued Sept. 17. Executive Order GA-31 now allows elective surgeries in any state Trauma Service Area (TSA) in which hospitalized COVID-19 patients make up less than 15% of all hospitalizations for seven consecutive days. Only the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Victoria and Laredo TSAs are still excluded.
