prominent leadership position,” remarked President-Elect Dr. David
Godin. “Dr. Robert Green has done an incredible job over his
tenure, and I am hoping to make similarly impactful and successful
contributions to our practice. I am excited to embrace all that
comes with this position, and I’m ready to get to work.”
ENTA CEO Robert Glazer added, “Dr. Godin is an excellent choice
to lead our Practice forward through an ever-changing healthcare
landscape. His vision, drive, and expertise in so many areas will
be a tremendous asset to everyone at ENTA today and for years to
