SAN FRANCISCO, CA, August 06, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Marquis Who's Who, the world's premier publisher of biographical profiles, is proud to present Jane Hightower with the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award.

Backed by many years of professional excellence, Dr. Hightower currently excels as a physician. She began her career as a research assistant to Professor David H. Kistner of the department of entomology at California State University, Chico while working as a teaching assistant to Professor William Derr. Over the years, she also found success through her work with the California Pacific Internal Medicine Program and Saint Mary's Hospital and Medical Center.

This formula has been adopted by many organizations to help the public stay within the health guidelines for mercury.
