                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOHN S. TANNER

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 25, 2002

  Mr. TANNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of my friend, 
Dr. Mickey McAdoo. Tomorrow, he will become president of the Tennessee 
Medical Association.
  The organization represents roughly 6,500 doctors in Tennessee and 
works to raise awareness of issues important to the medical community. 
The TMA is often the only voice to speak for the rights of Tennessee's 
patients.
  Dr. McAdoo, a family physician in Milan, is in private practice with 
Dr. Wade Reeves and Dr. Jerry Wilson at Milan Medical Center. He also 
operates Integrity Clinical Research in Milan and is chief of staff and 
committee chair at Milan General Hospital.
  A Tennessee native, Dr. McAdoo is a graduate of the University of 
Tennessee Martin and earned his medical degree from the University of 
Tennessee Center for Health Sciences.
  Even outside of his medical capacity, Dr. McAdoo has long been 
valuable to our community. He has acted as president of the local 
Chamber of Commerce, serves as team physician for Milan High School 
athletics and is an ordained deacon, teacher and Personnel Committee 
chair at First Baptist Church in Milan. He is a past president of the 
Tennessee Academy of Family Physicians.
  Now, as he begins his tenure as Tennessee Medical Association 
President, I congratulate and applaud my friend Dr. McAdoo and wish him 
all the best in this important endeavor.
