WASHINGTON (CN) - President Obama is expected to appoint Dr. Regina Benjamin the U.S. Surgeon General today. Benjamin, president of the Alabama Medical Association in 2002, was the first black woman to head a state medical society in the United States.
Benjamin became known for setting up a rural health clinic on a small Gulf Coast village - which was destroyed in Hurricane Katrina, and then again by fire - and she received a MacArthur "genius award."
