Honor Ron Davis, MD
EHE International and the
American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM) are
pleased to announce the launch of a window display at
Rockefeller Center honoring the memory of ACPM Fellow
and past American Medical Association President, Dr. Ron
Davis.
The window, located at 10
Rockefeller Plaza, will be presented to the public from
April 1, 2009 – April 30, 2009. “EHE is very pleased to
be able to offer the American College of Preventive
Medicine this window to honor a great humanitarian and
wonderful physician. Dr. Davis will forever be
remembered as a pioneering physician dedicated to
improving the nation’s health and welfare,” said Deb
McKeever, EHE President.
“The window design compels
the observer to consider a world where childhood
obesity, emerging infectious diseases, and smoking
related-deaths are a thing of the past. The hope of
this healthier world was Ron’s vision and passion and
remains the mission of the American College of
Preventive Medicine,” said Michael Parkinson, MD, MPH,
FACPM, immediate past president of ACPM.
Dr. Davis’ life work was
dedicated to improving public health via preventive
medicine. He was the recent past president of the

medicine to advance disease prevention and health
promotion imperatives. He also was the first director

Leadership Fund (PMLF). The PMLF is dedicated to

promotion and disease prevention careers. For more
