BETHESDA, Md. - Rezul -- Suburban Hospital, a member of Johns Hopkins Medicine and the state-designated trauma center for Montgomery County, proudly welcomed back nationally recognized trauma surgeon and federal medical leader Dr. Alexander L. Eastman to deliver the keynote address at its annual Critical Issues in Trauma Conference.

Dr. Eastman, who began his medical journey at Suburban Hospital in the mid-1990s as a trauma resuscitation technician, returned to share lessons from over two decades of leadership in high-risk, high-pressure environments. His keynote address, titled "Crisis Leadership: Lessons from Our Nation's Heroes," explored the vital role of preparation, decision-making, and communication in navigating complex emergencies.

Drawing on experience from trauma surgery, tactical law enforcement, disaster response, and federal emergency operations, Dr. Eastman highlighted the leadership traits that allow teams to withstand chaos and deliver under pressure. He emphasized the necessity of after-action reviews (AARs) and constant readiness, reminding the audience that "preparation is not glamorous, but it is the most meaningful work we do."
