Michael B. Gregg, M.D.,
In Honor of 21 Years' Service as Editor, MMWR
In November 1988, Michael B. Gregg, M.D., concluded 21 years'
service
as Editor of MMWR. He continues at CDC as Acting Director of the
Epidemiology Program Office. As Editor, Dr. Gregg strengthened
MMWR's
dedication to communicating accurate and timely public health
information to health-care and public health professionals. He
oversaw
the expansion of MMWR to accommodate the ever-widening scope of
public
health problems that concern national, state, local, and other
health
agencies and organizations. Additional benchmarks include the
citation
of MMWR articles in Index Medicus and increased accessibility of
MMWR
articles through reproduction by the Massachusetts Medical Society
(1)
and collaborative reprinting in the Journal of the American Medical
Association (2). CDC and the Public Health Service are deeply
indebted
to Dr. Gregg for his dedication to public health practice and
standards
of excellence in public health reporting.
