As part of its ongoing efforts to communicate with patients and physicians, the American Medical Association continues to embrace the fast-paced world of social networking by launching its official Facebook page. The AMA page will feature timely updates on the health-reform debate and other information important to patients and physicians.

"Americans must have access to timely, accurate information about the nation's ongoing efforts to reform the current health system in order to provide high quality, affordable health coverage for all," said Dr. Rohack. "The AMA Facebook page is a tool for patients and physicians to learn and communicate with each other about the latest health-reform developments."

Fans of the AMA Facebook page can watch AMA Virtual Town Hall videos, read AMA President Dr. J. James Rohack's latest blog post, and more.
