Holiday celebrations continued at Wilson’s Cider House, which hosted Internal Medicine groups across back-to-back weekends. Most recently, the Division of Immunology gathered in Wilson’s new Upper Level Venue for a festive dinner beneath rustic wooden beams and cozy lighting.
Warming up for the main course, division members enjoyed cocktails and appetizers while catching up with their colleagues.
Division director, Benjamin P. Davis, MD, PhD, made a few remarks before guests lined up for the buffet-style meal. He congratulated the division on another successful year, noting fellowship expansions and continued success in patient care and research. Davis thanked division coordinator, Andrew Huizer, as well as administrative coordinators Dylan Gardiner and Lynne Thomas for the division’s ongoing success, sharing that all manner of growth could not be possible without their work.
The event closed with a delicious dinner spread. Groups rose from table to table, lining up to fill their plates with sides of rosemary roasted potatoes and green beans topped with toasted almonds and caramelized shallot butter. Entree options included red wine braised beef and herb-roasted chicken with aioli.
The dinner party gave colleagues an opportunity to pause, connect, and celebrate another year of meaningful work in Immunology. And this evening was just the start of many more gatherings for the division to look forward to in 2026!
