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.
