CHICAGO, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Medical Association (AMA) Foundation honored six physicians with awards representing the highest ideals of medical service in providing care to underserved and needy patients. The physicians will be honored during the sixth annual Excellence in Medicine Awards dinner on March 31, 2008 preceding the American Medical Association's National Advocacy Conference in Washington, D.C. One physician received the Dr. Nathan Davis International Award in Medicine, two physicians received the Jack B.
