Whereas a National Day of Recognition for Long-Term Care Physicians is designed 
        to honor and recognize physicians who care for an ever-growing elderly 
        population in different settings, including skilled nursing facilities, 
        assisted living, hospice, continuing care retirement communities, post-
        acute care, home care, and private offices;
Whereas the average long-term care physician has nearly 20 years of practice 
        experience and dedicates themselves to 1 or 2 facilities with nearly 100 
        residents and patients;
Whereas the American Medical Directors Association is the professional 
        association of medical directors, attending physicians, and others 
        practicing in the long-term continuum and is dedicated to excellence in 
        patient care and provides education, advocacy, information, and 
        professional development to promote the delivery of quality long-term 
        care medicine; and
Whereas the American Medical Directors Association would like to honor founder 
        and long-term care physician William A. Dodd, M.D., C.M.D., who was born 
        on March 20, 1921: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That the Congress expresses support for--
            (1) the designation of March 20, 2010 as a National Day of 
        Recognition for Long-Term Care Physicians; and
            (2) the goals and ideals of a National Day of Recognition 
        for Long-Term Care Physicians.

            Passed the Senate September 29, 2010.

            Attest:

                                                             Secretary.
