Dr. Regina Benjamin, founder of the Bayou La Batre Rural Health Clinic in Bayou La Batre, Ala., has been chosen to be surgeon general by President Obama.
DR. BENJAMIN, as an RN who had the honor of working with you on Level 10 at Providence Hospital, Mobile, Al. I would like to say thank you for being the person you are...we love you, Our country will certainly benefit from your dedication and knowledge.
I have this original article with the pictures. I was in Bayou La Batre w/the Red Cross 2 weeks after Katrina hit. I would have loved to have met Dr. Benjamin. As soon as she was nominated, I immediately went to the internet and found this story to send to all my friends. I think this article shows the awesome strength, determination and compassion that will make her an outstanding Surgeon General. Kudos to President Obama for naming her. I am thrilled beyond words.
