What is a Hometown Hero?

One of the pleasures of talking with urologists is discovering how they found their way into urology and how they spend their time away from practice. Just as we scramble to document the stories of our war heroes before they are lost, there is an urgency to preserve the stories of our colleagues. These stories–perhaps about sports, art, music, or international adventures, to name a few examples–will chronicle the colorful pictures urologists have added to their communities. And now there is a repository to hold the legacy of unique urologists, as well as a platform to deliver these stories that would not have a national audience otherwise.

Hometown Heroes is intended to showcase the contributions of individuals who want to relate experiences, both medical and non-medical, of unique urological professionals. Hopefully they will help us see into the hearts, minds and souls of our urological colleagues and predecessors. And the archives will preserve these stories for future generations.

Hometown Heroes will expand the esteem of not only the individual, but urological history as well. We invite you to take the time to write about your favorite urologist and read about your colleagues who make life so interesting.
