JACKSON â¢Â Neurosurgeon Dr. John Daniel Davis IV has been nominated by Gov. Tate Reeves to serve on a board that governs public health in the state, Department of Health officials announced Tuesday.
Davis, of Flowood, was nominated to complete the six-year term of Dr. Ed D. "Tad" Barham on the Mississippi State Board of Health. Barham died earlier this year of coronavirus complications.
Davis is a graduate of both the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and School of Public Health. He currently works as a neurosurgeon at NewSouth NeuroSpine in Flowood.
"It is truly a special opportunity and unique honor to serve on this Board," he said in a statement Tuesday. "I am committed to sound, science-based policy with efficient execution, and I look forward to addressing important matters that impact the health and lives of Mississippians."
