As I write this article for the medical magazine, I do so with anticipation and excitement. Let me introduce myself, Margaret Ann Khoury, Wichita County Alliance President 1999-2000. I have taken over the position from Rhonda Eckholdt who has, with her husband, Dr. Gregory Eckholdt moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma. (Since myself being from that area, I might add, it is a beautiful town!) We at the Medical Alliance wish them all the best.

The Medical Alliance board has been planning what we think will be an exciting year to come. What a year to come, the Millennium! Our first alliance meeting will be the annual welcome picnic on September 11, l999, at the Tolentino’s home.

We extend a big "Texas hello" to the new physicians and their spouses who have joining our medical community.
