Education

I have been a nurse educator for over twenty years. My primary areas of interest/research are: childhood obesity, health disparities, and use of health promotion principles to bring about equity. I founded the Online Journal of Health Ethics, and have a particular interest in provision of equitable care to the masses. I am a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing and have a lifetime associate member status on the Institute of Medicine for service on the IOM Committee to investigate the phenomenon of uninsurance in America ( 2000 - 2003 ). I am an ordained elder in the Seventh-day Adventist church and have been married to Melvin ( Dr. Melvin Davis), since the age of 18.
