Subject: Resignation from PSA
Maria,
I will be resigning from the PSA as of April 1st.
This is a result of me moving my primary emergency medicine practice to Naples Community Hospital,
therefore I can no longer represent Physicians Regional Medical Center. PRMC will be appointing a
replacement for me immediately. I apologize for the disruption this has created.
I have enjoyed participating in the PSA. I would like to remain involved and plan to attend the meetings as a
citizen of Collier county. Please keep me informed of the meetings I will be permitted to observe.
I believe this committee has great potential to continue to improve the quality of emergency medical care in
this community.
Thank you,
John Zelahy, MD
