David H.P. Streeten Lectures

Dr. David Streeten was an international authority on disorders of the adrenal gland, endocrine causes of hypertension, and autonomic and orthostatic disorders of the circulation.  His interest in dysautonomia led him to establish, along with others, the American Autonomic Society, of which he was a President.  He was a role model for patient-oriented researchers.  His desire to help patients helped guide his clinical investigations for over 40 years.

“I first met Dr. Streeten at the first AAS meeting I attended in 1992 […]. I sat down with him at breakfast once to discuss a case, and he gave his full attention. One had the impression that he would have given you all the time in the world, and he thought deeply about clinical questions. […] It’s people like him, in addition to the subject itself, that drew me to the field.”
