CADILLAC â A little spousal encouragement resulted in a local nurse winning a statewide award.
George Davis-Williams, the clinical supervisor for District Health Department No. 10 recently was recognized by the Michigan Public Health Association, receiving the Nursing Section Award for Public Health Nursing Practice after being nominated by Baker College.
The college nominated Davis-Williams because of his efforts to make sure Baker nursing students who are assigned to study at the health department get a valuable experience. The assignments only last 32 hours, with six hours of it spent on public health orientation. Davis-Williams and the health departmentâs nursing staff try to make sure the rest of the time is spent on engaging work.

Richard Wilson was first inspired to write poetry during a trip he took to Europe shortly after leaving the U.S. Navy.
Wilson, who served on a ship in the South China Sea during the Vietnam War, was 22 and alone on the trip. He remembers he felt a need to express the thoughts and emotions he felt as he visited places filled with history and culture. Since he had no traveling companion, he decided to express himself through poetry.
