Kansas Insurance Commissioner and former National Association of Insurance Commissioners President Sandy Praeger was honored with the American Medical Association’s (AMA) top government service award for an elected statewide official.
Nominated by Roger Sevigny, NAIC most immediate past president and New Hampshire insurance commissioner, Praeger chairs the NAIC’s Health Insurance and Managed Care Committee and was recognized for her ongoing efforts in the health care arena, including advocating for consumers, serving as a health expert to the national media and testifying before Congress on behalf of the NAIC. She is one of nine honorees chosen this year to receive the award.
This is the second time Praeger has received the Dr. Nathan Davis Award for Outstanding Government Service; she was first honored as a Kansas state senator in 1999.
The award, named for the founding father of the AMA, recognizes elected and career officials in federal, state or municipal service whose outstanding contributions have promoted the art and science of medicine and the betterment of public health.
