Prevention of Health in America

Dear Surgeon General Nominee!

Congratulations for being nominated by President Barack Obama!

This is a pleasure for me to acknowledge to you that I have created many health programs that should eliminate different health crises such as diabetes, and other basic preventive health.

Should I can have your E-mail address, you will be in possession of all of them.

Your attention to this matter will be appreciated.

Respectfully,

Professor Leon Apolon

1532 Flamingo Court

Homestead, Florida. 33035

Qualifications and Healthcare experience matters!

People come in all shapes and sizes that do not me they are unhealthy, thin people are at risk and have as much and different health issues as the rest of the population. Genetic makeup comes into play here, she is in a perfect position to understand the issues that plaques the America people and to advocate for their healthcare coverage. Healthcare providers struggle with some of the same issues of the general population, that makes them humans and empathetic towards their patients. Only in America healthy robust women are considered obese, keep in mind no studies have been done on African women to determine the appropriate BMI number for their height and weight; who is to say she is obese just by looking at a picture Dr. Benjamin can help to sever the numerous disparities in the healthcare system.

how is her pick in any way timely

because of the swine flu??

as a member of the board of the ama she is a shill for big-pharma, big-insurance and everything else that's wrong with u.s.health care...

and the author of this article shows what's wrong with u.s. "journalism:...

Doing Her Rural Best for America's Good

Your statement, Brian of WA, implies that people from AL are all black, dumb and nonprofessional. Many are black to be sure. Black and brilliant. Black and professional. Some are white. It smacks of a certain lack of exposure that you would make such a statement. Or perhaps you have lived in a big city too long? It isn't where you are from or what your race is. Its how well you are trained. And this is someone extraordinarily trained. The MacArthur "genius" grant does not go to very many people of any stripe. I, for one, will be delighted to have someone compassionate enough to build a clinic three times so that her community could be cared for speaking on behalf of the nation's public health. I hope that you, too, are taking the gifts that you have been fiven and using them to the best of your ability.

Qualified, but...

This woman is obviously highly qualified for the job, but the choice seems a little awkward given that she's apparently overweight. We live in a society that has 60% obese adults and kids which add a huge burden to the health care system. What happened to personal responsibility when it comes to weight control and associated health care cost as a result of obesity related conditions? Think about premature strokes, heart attacks, diabetes, joint and spinal conditions to name a few. Hopefully this doctor will set an example for the rest of us with personal attempt to control her weight.

The Pope

gave her the highest possible honor for non-clergy (Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice).

Just The Facts

With so much buffoonery on here I felt the need to just state the facts.

Regina Benjamin received a B.S. (1979) from Xavier University of Louisiana, attended Morehouse School of Medicine from 1980 to 1982, and received an M.D. (1984) from the University of Alabama at Birmingham; she also holds an M.B.A. (1991) from Tulane University. She completed her residency in family practice at the Medical Center of Central Georgia (1987). The CEO of the Bayou La Batre Rural Health Clinic since its founding in 1990, Benjamin has also served as the associate dean for rural health at the University of South Alabama’s College of Medicine and as president of the State of Alabama Medical Association (2002-2003).

First 21 cabinet picks:

Overall, Obama has picked five women, four blacks, three Hispanics and two Asians as Cabinet-level appointments.
