U.S Rep. Dave Camp, R.-Mich., was honored by the American Association of Kidney Patients for his work on a bill honoring organ donors.
The 2009 Medal of Excellence was given to Camp and Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif., for their efforts in passing the Stephanie Tubbs Jones Gift of Life Medal Act.
This law created a new medal from the U.S. Mint that can be given to organ donors or their families in the case of deceased donors. The act is named in honor of former Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, D-Ohio, who died in 2008 and donated organ and tissue to more than 58 individuals.
