Luke will be missed “ “ “
Dr. Glancy has been a steady hand at the wheel when the Journal and the Society needed it most. His leadership and foresight were essential to the success of the Journal and the longevity of the society. He will be sorely missed.” - Andy Blalock, M.D., Journal Board Member
No one could have surpassed the effectiveness of Dr. Glancy in navigating the challenges of multiple literal and figurative storms for our state and journal. He has been steadfast in the mission of the journal to improve outcomes for our members and patients. It has been an honor and pleasure to work with such a gentleman and scholar.” - Lester W. Johnson, M.D., Associate Editor Thoughtful, dedicated, collegial, articulate, meticulous and professional—these are but a few of the words that come to mind when I think of Dr. Luke Glancy. He was initially my teacher and inspiration for medicine, a true master of the physical exam and the consummate cardiologist. Later in my career, Luke became a mentor and model for the importance of taking on responsibilities that complemented his passion to teach and disseminate knowledge through other venues. A primary medium for this expression has been the Journal of the Louisiana State Medical Society, over which he has presided as editor for two decades. Under his leadership, the journal has remained a consistent vanguard of the medical community in Louisiana and beyond. His thoughtful editorials, his attention to the quality of journal submissions, and the use of his considerable interpersonal skills to encourage article reviews have allowed the journal to serve as a proud “ambassador” for the state medical society. No doubt, his remarkable talents and extraordinary commitment to the journal will be missed, but his legacy as editor, without peril, will endure.” - Fred Lopez, M.D. Dr. Glancy’s hard work, dedication and achievements to the Journal of the LSMS may never be matched. After twenty years of excellent service, he leaves behind a legacy of hard work and commitment. Thank you for always supporting our team with your constant positivity and encouragement. We will miss you!” - Jeff Williams, LSMS Executive Vice President & CEO ■
