The gift continues the mission of The California Urology Foundation – the legacy of member Dr. Emil Tanagho – which was renamed last year to the Western Urological Foundation .“One of the areas of focus for our Foundation is recognition of outstanding contributions from within the Western Section. We are excited to extend its reach, providing great educational benefits for all of our residents and members. We hope this is the first of many.” said Dr. Joseph Presti, WUF President and WSAUA immediate Past-President.

The Western Section is very grateful to Dr. Sadoughi for his contribution and the value it brings to the entire Western Section AUA community.
