Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are thrilled to announce that our 2025 Northwest Society for Colon and Rectal Surgery meeting will be held at the Westin Resort & Spa, Whistler, BC on July 16-19, 2025.

We hope to continue the Society’s reputation of putting on educational, informative, innovative, and collegial conferences. More details to come.

We hope to have a wide range of attendees in terms of years in training or practice, as well as geographic and practice settings.

The program chair this year is Dr. Val Simianu, from Virginia Mason and our President is Dr. John Griffin, from Swedish, both in Seattle, WA. This is truly our favorite conference, so we hope to live up to your expectations.

Sincerely,
Val Simianu, Program Chair
