Calman is president and CEO of The Institute for Family Health Inc. In 1993, he was one of the first recipients of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's annual Community Health Leaders Awards. He has worked to bring quality health care to New York City's poor and homeless populations.
Arthur Davidson, M.D., of Denver, also was appointed to a two-year term on the committee and will lend expertise in the area of patient and consumer advocacy.
