Ronald M. Davis, MD

AMA President Has Cancer

March 05, 2008
by Barbara Kram, Editor
CHICAGO - American Medical Association President Ron Davis, MD has informed members of the Board of Trustees that he has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Dr. Davis will continue to serve as AMA president, but his activities on behalf of the nation's largest physician's organization will be curtailed while he begins immediate treatment to fight this disease.

While Dr. Davis is focusing on his health, his treatment and his family, other members of the AMA Board will assume responsibility for some of his official duties.

It is Dr. Davis' wish to openly share information about his health and treatment with his family, friends and colleagues. To meet the challenge of effectively communicating with those who might wish to share their thoughts and prayers, Dr. Davis established a personal Web page at CarePages.com where he and his family will post updates, and where visitors can post messages and read the notes left by others.
