Speaker

Alvin D. Jackson, M.D., became director of the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) June 4, 2007, following his appointment by Gov. Ted Strickland in January. Dr. Jackson brings to ODH his holistic approach, the chronic disease prevention model of health care - a model in which patients are partners with their physicians in maintaining good health and charting courses of treatment when needed. Patient education and disease prevention are among Dr. Jackson's top priorities.

Dr. Jackson earned his B.S. from Michigan's Andrews University before graduating from The Ohio State University College of Medicine and completing his residency at Toledo's Mercy Hospital. In 2000, Dr. Jackson won Pfizer's Ohio Quality Care award; in 2001, he won the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Clinician award for his dedication to the nation's migrant farm workers. That same year, Dr. Jackson earned the Robert Wood Johnson Community Health Leadership award.
In 2004, Dr. Jackson received an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Heidelberg College of Ohio for his humanitarian efforts with migrant workers and foreign relief efforts. The Jacksons have four adult children; two are physicians, one is a banker and one is a college student.
