Physician Family Alliance
2023 Membership Update
Michael Kelly Secretary/Treasurer michael19452000@yahoo.com
There’s good news for HCMA Physi- cian Family Alliance members. The ex- ecutive committee has voted to change our membership categories and pricing to reflect our mission more accurately, as a representative of physician families. Effective beginning with the 2023 mem- bership, there will be one membership category and one fee for Alliance mem- bership. The membership will be inclu-
sive of all physicians’ family members so when you join the Al- liance, your entire family, spouse, partner, children, and parents are included in your membership. The new membership cost is $75 per year for physician families. Fellow, resident, intern, and medical student memberships remain complementary. We hope
you will consider joining us. A membership application is avail- able by calling the HCMA office (813.253.0471) or by visiting HCMA.net/HCMA-Alliance.
Mark your calendar!
In other Alliance news, the date for our February Go Red event, benefitting the HCMA Foundation, has been set for Satur- day, February 18, 2023. This year, the event will be hosted by my wife, Dr. Rebecca Johnson, and me, at our home on Davis Islands. Additionally, the 2023 National Physician Family Day will be cel- ebrated on Saturday, August 27.
There are currently several committee chairmanships avail- able. If you are interested, please contact me.
We are sad to announce, Carol Nieto who served as HCMA President in 1986, has passed away.
Carol Ann (Paterniti) Nieto, 77, died peacefully and comfort- ably surrounded by her children on October 28, 2022, follow- ing a period of declining health. She was born in Birmingham, England, on April 3, 1945, the daughter of the late Salvatore John Paterniti and Cecilia (Murphy) Paterniti. Carol was the wife of the late Ernesto Nieto, MD. She was the loving mother of Patricia Nieto, of Cincinnati, OH, Kevin Nieto, of Huntington, WV, and Kara Nieto, of Weston, MA., cherished grandmother of Michael, Andrew, Jack and Francesca. Sister of Tom Paterniti, and his wife, Sherri, of Albuquerque, NM, Tim Paterniti, and his wife, Rox- anne, of Denver, CO, Sean Paterniti, of Albuquerque, NM, and Paula Dudley, and her husband, Michael, of Fredericksburg, VA. Also survived by many nieces and nephews. Carol spent many years residing in Tampa Bay, FL, where she and Ernesto raised their children. She moved to Huntington, WV, for several years before moving to Wayland, MA, to be closer to family, where she has resided for the past six years.
She graduated with a BS in nursing from the Mary Manse Col- lege School of Nursing with the class of 1963 and practiced nurs- ing in numerous hospitals. For many years, she was associated with her husband in the daily operation of his medical practice in Tampa, FL. She and a close friend owned and operated The Porcelain Cup in Tampa, and she also was a realtor for several years. She was a strong advocate for many causes dear to her and worked very hard in making life better for others. A memorial service celebrating her life will be held in Tampa Bay, FL, at a later date in 2023. In lieu of flowers, her family kindly suggests that gifts in Carol’s memory be sent to the American Cancer So- ciety, P.O. Box 6704, Hagerstown, MD 21741 (cancer.org), Al- zheimer’s Association (ACT.ALZ.org), or to the Spring of Tampa (thespring.org). For condolences, please visit www.johncbryant- funeralhome.com.
