The American Medical Association (AMA) is currently soliciting nominations for the 2008 Dr. Nathan Davis Awards for Outstanding Governments Service. These awards are recognized nationally as one of the most prestigious honors extended to elected officials and career government employees for outstanding endeavors that advance public health.
