The WCM Board Members went on to adopt two additional resolutions:


1. Supporting President Obama’s nomination for Dr.. Regina Benjamin, from Bayou La Batre, for the US Surgeon General.  WCM President Davis went on to state, “I personally know how hard Dr. Benjamin worked to help save lives and provide health care during the Hurricane Katrina incident, because she is from the Prichard/Mobile, AL area.  I’m convinced she will do the same for the nation.”

 
2. Supporting the President’s effort to reform health care in America, so that health care will be made affordable and accessible to the more Americans.
