Edward S. Thomas achieved great things by doing the right thing well. The Edward S. Thomas Memorial Golf Outing celebrates his legacy. He was a friend, a mentor, a colleague and an inspiration to the many who worked with him. This event is not only a tribute to this great man, it is also a benefit for the Edward S. Thomas Section of Community and Public Health at Wayne State University School of Medicine Department of Emergency Medicine. The physicians who lead this section wish to make a difference in the way that Emergency Medicine interacts with the community. WSU Emergency Medicine graduates practice in health systems throughout Michigan and around the world.
