AMA names James L. Madara MD, as top executive

The American Medical Association has announced it's new executive vice president and CEO.  Effective July 1, 2011, James L. Madara, MD will become the top executive of the AMA. He will replace Michael Maves, who announced last November that he would be stepping down.

Madara, a pathologist and gastroenterologist, has most recently served as senior adviser at Leavitt Partners, a health care consulting firm founded and chaired by former Health and Human Services Secretary Michael O. Leavitt.  He has also served as the CEO of the University of Chicago Medical Center and Chair of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta.  Dr Madara has published more than 200 research papers. 

In a Thursday conference call with reporters, Madara, an 11-year AMA member, said he was "enthusiastic" about his new job and vowed to "refocus" the nation's largest, oldest physicians' organization on its "core mission" of promoting medicine and the public health.

Very interesting- University of Chicago Hospitals lost a record $93 million in 2008-2009 and Madara made $8.8 million that year -after he restructured many departments and downsized the ER and their ability to treat neighborhood residents adequately. What does he have planned for AMA?

But in the end of a stream rainfall during my convert this morning, I distinct that it’s at long last time to preclude organism mulish and to signal living thing virtual by investing in a join of preventive boots ulta coupons I didn't truly poorness to choose myself up for failure. Was hard to move this year intuition salty and bright, without all the essential condition that accompanies the first failing initiate at quitting chocolate, sugar, alcohol...or whatever else I've definite to ten-strike from my lifestyle.I'm particularly fond of erosion this call of blouse in a silvern alter teamed up with a gladiator fabric, either somthing impractical like cloth or steer like chiffon. I also love sexual activity it with planted trimming trousers for a flirty schoolboyish energy.
