On March 21, FOMA member Ishali Rajguru, OMS-II, performed the national anthem at a Baltimore Orioles Spring Training game in Sarasota, FL. A second-year student at LECOM Bradenton, Ishali is also a former All-State soprano singer, bringing her musical talent to the field for this special moment. Ishali is the daughter of FOMA Executive Member Shailesh Rajguru, DO, FACN.

What an exciting opportunity!
