To help doctors and patients decide together if a preventive service is right for a persons needs, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force develops recommendations based scientific evidence.
Members approved Paul Upshaw to serve an additional year as president in order to give John Sheehan a year to serve as the new vice president and Sharon Grisier continue to serve as treasurer. Ellie Walburn was elected to serve as secretary.
